Glasgow Additional Requirements for Owners of Dangerous Dogs ordinance (§ 205.120)
Chapter 205: Animal Regulations · Article I. Dog Regulations
In short: Owners of dangerous dogs must immediately notify police if the dog is loose, unconfined, missing, or has attacked an animal or person, and the dog must always wear a bright orange collar with a large brightly colored metal tag. A dog that bites or scratches a person and is deemed dangerous is held for a ten-day rabies quarantine at a vet clinic within thirty (30) miles of Glasgow.
