Springfield, our state’s capital, is located in central Illinois and home to about 117,000 people with over 211,000 in the metro area. It is also home to Abraham Lincoln’s presidential library, museum, and former home, making it a popular tourist destination in the state. The median age in Springfield is about 37 years old.

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 Springfield’s Title IV, Chapter 91, Article IV ordinances for dog ownership:

  • Dogs must have collars with tags which contain the owner’s name, address, and phone number (Section 91.05);
  • All dogs must be kept under proper restraint by their owners at all times (Section 91.15);
  • Owners are responsible for ensuring that their dogs do not attack other individuals or animals without provocation (Section 91.18).
