Reno's own code notes that the county took over shelter and field operations in 2005 (see the Reno administrative code), and the county's Chapter 55 page carries the animal ordinance. The county's dangerous and vicious dog permit page says owners of such dogs must register under section 55.760, and requirements may include approved confinement, liability insurance or a surety bond, microchipping, spay or neuter, a property inspection and fees.
03Dog parks
The city dog park rules require a current license, a leash on hand and on the dog when entering and leaving the gated area, and removal of any dog at the first sign of aggression.
