American Dog Owners Association

 

It started as a proposed ban on pit bulls and it's been front and center for months in Elkhart.

Thursday night, some progress was made on crafting a new animal ordinance that would best protect people, yet still hold owners accountable.

It appears breed specific legislation is off the table. It will be in the form of a dangerous dog ordinance....

In the beginning, the proposed pit bull ordinance had people in the community packing in the meetings at city hall. So, the ad hoc committee made up of veterinarians, people from the humane society, and Common Council President Rod Roberson decided to analyze the issue and work to find the best possible solution....

A plan was agreed upon by the ad-hoc committee, but it hasn't been formally proposed to the council.
