Many cities and counties have ordinances regarding dogs and the responsibilities of dog owners. An owner or keeper of a dog who violates of these ordinances can be held liable for damages in a civil lawsuit to a dog bite victim. The ordinances can be used to prove a case in addition to other Michigan dog bite laws.
In Mount Clemens, there are laws that apply to dog owners. These can be found in the Mount Clemens City Ordinances. Specifically, they are as follows:
35.242 Sec. 2. RESTRAINT.
(a) All dogs shall be kept under restraint.
(b) No owner shall fail to exercise proper care and control of his animals to prevent them from becoming a public nuisance.
(c) Every female dog in heat shall be confined in a building or secure enclosure in such a manner that such female dog cannot come into contact with another animal except for planned breeding.
(d) Every vicious animal shall be confined by the owner within a building or secure enclosure and shall be securely muzzled or caged whenever off the premises of its owner and shall not be allowed to go unconfined and unrestrained on such person's premises or to run at large.
(ord. eff. Sept. 14, 2001)
