Homeward Trails Animal Rescue Third Thursday Education Series

Legal Responsibilities of Pet Owners

What if your dog bites or is bitten by another dog?  What if your dog bites a person?  Are there legal implications to owning certain breeds of dogs?  What if your neighbor’s dog barks uncontrollably?  And how do you plan for your pets in the event of your death or incapacitation?  What is the legal status of your faithful companion?  Find out all of this and more about the legal aspect of dog ownership!
