During an earlier council meeting, residents expressed concerns about dogs and some of the concerns were breed-specific. Other residents said any ordinance changes should be breed-neutral.
If you are a resident or local, please consider attending the Emergency Services Committee meeting to help guide Laurel to a safe, effective dog ordinance that is breed-neutral.
Dog owners take their complaints, concerns to city council

[…] Again and again, people called for pet owners to take responsibility for their pet’s behavior on city streets and on their private property.
[…] Others said the focus shouldn’t be on breed, but on behavior.
[…] “I think it would be wonderful if we took the opinions … to the emergency services meeting and help give some guidance. When people help to change these rules and ordinances, there’s ownership. Ownership would yield a continuum of responsibility,” said [Laurel Municipal Judge Jean] Kerr.
The Emergency Services Committee will review the dog ordinance at its May 21 meeting at 5:30 pm. in council chambers.
