Amendment - March 16, 2007
Amendment to Lakewood Parks Covenants regarding Vicious Dogs
The goal of the property owners of Lakewood Park is to make those who want to harbor potentially dangerous dogs face more stringent consequences if they let their animals
get out of control. Therefore, the following guidelines for a vicious dog will be set as follows:
Dogs will be considered vicious if any one of the following elements are present:
- Any dog with a know propensity, tendency, or disposition, or whose conduct indicates the same; to attack unprovoked, to cause injury to, or otherwise threaten the
safety of human beings or animals.
- Any dog which, without provocation, attacks or bites, a human being or domestic animal.
- Any dog owned or harbored primarily or in part for the purpose of dog fighting, or any dog trained for dog fighting.
Specifically pertaining to the pit bull breed of dog:
- No person shall permit a pit bull breed or mix to go outside it's kennel or pen unless such dog is securely leashed with a leash no longer than four (4) feet in length.
- No person shall permit such dog to be kept on a chain, rope, or other type of leash outside its kennel or pen unless a person of suitable age and discretion is in
physical control of the leash.
- Such dogs may not be leashed to inanimate objects such as trees, posts, buildings, or structures.
- In addition, all pit bull dogs on a leash outside the animal's kennel, must be muzzled by a muzzling device sufficient to prevent such dog from biting persons or
other animals.
- All structures used to confine pit bull dogs must be locked with a key or combination lock when such animals are within structure and the structure must have a secure
floor attached to the sides of the pen or the sides of the pen must be embedded in the ground no less than two (2) feet.
- All owners, keepers, harborers or possessors, or pit bull dogs must provide proof to the office of Lakewood Park of public liability insurance in a single incident
amount of $50,000.00 for bodily injury to or death of any person or persons or for damage to property owned by a persons which may result from owning, possessing,
keeping or maintaining of such dog. Such insurance policy shall provide that no cancellation of the policy will be made unless ten (10) days written notice is first
given to the office of Lakewood Park.
Pertaining to dogs in general:
- All dog owners shall display in a prominent place on their premises a sign easily readable by the public using the words “Beware of Dog”. In addition, a similar sign
is required to be placed on the kennel or pen of vicious dogs.
- No dog shall be allowed to roam freely of the owner's property.
- Any dog found to be the subject of a violation of this guideline shall be subject to immediate seizure and impoundment. Coffee County Animal Control will have the
authority to pick up dogs they find roaming throughout the park and the Office Manager or Trustees shall have the authority, without recourse, to sign such release
papers as required by Animal Control.
Any person who violates this covenant shall pay all expenses, including sums for shelter, food, handling, veterinary care, and expert testimony, which are necessitated
by the person's failure to abide by the provisions of this guideline.
This amendment shall take effect immediately upon majority vote by Lakewood Park property owners, the public welfare requiring it.
