Dangerous Dogs

A dangerous dog in Fort Worth is defined as one that:

1. Makes an unprovoked attack on a person or other animal that causes bodily injury and occurs in a place other than an enclosure in which the dog was being kept, or;
2. Commits unprovoked acts in a place other than an enclosure which the dog was being kept and those acts cause a person to reasonably believe that the animal will attack and cause bodily injury to that person.

If you own a dangerous dog

The owner of a dangerous dog is required to register annually the dog with Animal Care and Control and pay an annual registration fee.
