Joliet Dog Bites

About 30 miles southwest of Chicago is Joliet, the fourth-largest city in Illinois with a population nearing 150,000 people. Joliet is known for its cultural and economic diversity and strong Roman Catholic roots and is also home to Joliet Junior College, the country’s very first public community college. Nearly one-third of the population is between 25 and 44 years of age, while another one-third (approximately) is under 18 years of age, ranking Joliet among the fastest-growing cities in the Midwest.

Cities, towns, and communities throughout Illinois enact and enforce their own ordinances (in addition to state law) regarding dog ownership and responsibilities. Here are some of Joliet’s Chapter 6, Article II ordinances for dog ownership:

• All dogs in public areas and on public streets and sidewalks must be leashed with a collar and up-to-date license tag (Section 6-21);
• Dog owners may not allow their dogs to run at large in public areas (Section 6-22);
• Dog owners must ensure that their dogs do not disturb the peace with excessive barking or howling, especially during nighttime hours (Section 6-29);
• A dog which has bitten a person may be confined by the city’s rabies inspector to be observed and evaluated by a licensed veterinarian, while the injured victim must report the incident to the county health department and/or local law enforcement (Section 6-51).
