Rockford is Illinois’s third-largest city and home to just over 153,000 people. Located on the Rock River in Winnebago County, Rockford is nicknamed “The Forest City” and known for its economic diversity and roots in manufacturing and transportation. The Rockford Health System and the Swedish American Hospital are among the city’s largest employers. 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 Rockford’s Chapter 4, Article 2, Division 2 ordinances for dog ownership:

  • Dog owners must ensure that their dogs are properly leashed in public and secured on the owner’s property at all times; allowing a dog to run at large is punishable by a fine (Section 4-58);
  • Dog owners must ensure that their dogs do not disturb the peace with excessive barking or howling (Section 4-59);
  • All Rockford dogs must wear a numbered and printed inoculation tag and be vaccinated for rabies (Section 4-60).
