GLYNN COUNTY, Fla. — The Glynn County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted an updated Animal Control Ordinance on Oct. 1. The decision followed an Aug. 20 public hearing and revisions based on feedback received during the public review process.
Under the revised ordinance, a trolley system remains the only approved method for unsupervised pet tethering. Single-point tethering is permitted while a dog is under direct supervision. An owner may also leave a dog tethered outside alone for up to 30 minutes while completing a temporary task.
The ordinance also modifies pet vaccination and identification guidelines, according to the board. The mandatory vaccination age for dogs and cats was increased from 14 weeks to 18 weeks. Vaccinated dogs and cats may be identified by a county-issued license tag, a current rabies vaccination tag from a veterinarian, or a registered microchip with current owner information.
Additionally, the updated measure revises requirements related to animals running at-large, impoundment, spaying or neutering, and nuisance complaints. It also updates breeder regulations, animal cruelty enforcement, and provisions regarding menacing and dangerous animals.
