If an Animal Control Officer or a law enforcement officer has investigated and determined
that there exists probable cause to believe that a dog is potentially dangerous or
vicious, the Director of Community Services, or his or her designee, or the Sheriff,
or his or her designee, shall petition the court for a hearing to determine whether
or not the dog in question should be declared potentially dangerous or vicious. The
hearings shall be pursuant to Sections 31621-31626 of the Food and Agricultural Code
of the State of California.
A potentially dangerous dog, while on the owner's property, shall, at all times, be
kept indoors, or in a securely fenced yard from which the dog cannot escape, and into
which children cannot trespass. A potentially dangerous animal may be off the owner's
premises only if it is restrained by a substantial leash, of appropriate length, muzzled,
and under control.
