Humane Society posts new Omaha ordinance
OMAHA (AP) — The Nebraska Humane Society has posted Omaha’s new dangerous dog ordinance on its Web site.
Parts of the new law take effect next Wednesday, including the amount of time residents can leave a dog tied up outside. The new local law limits that to 15 minutes.
The city also will begin enforcing a portion of the law that deals with reckless owners. The section says pet owners who accumulate three animal-related violations in two years could lose their pets.
The part of the ordinance that requires residents to muzzle pit bulls doesn’t take effect until Jan. 1.
