If they are dangerous or aggressive and they come on your property, the law permits you to shoot them. As for the carter County leash laws, you can find them at your library, animal control or possibly online.

He says my dog has stolen his cats food for the past 2 weeks and is just now telling me. Threaten my dogs in a message saying if he catches them over there again they won’t be around much longer.

Yes. You are likely in violation of your local leash laws and ordinances regarding dog restraint.

Depends on whether the dog has ever bitten anyone before. You should also warn the new owner if he has bitten before. If you disclose snd they still take the dog, you should be fine. Failing to disclose is where the trouble will come.

No. A dog on a chain attached to the ground constitutes the crime of animal cruelty, not a leash. A leash is a rope or strap attached to the dogs harness or collar which enables a pet owner to control the dog while moving freely from place to place.
I tried everything 2 get them apart. 1 had the other neck & was yelping and choking and acting like it couldn't breathe. They've fought before, but never this bad. I tried to pry his mouth off with a cane, i tried getting a rope over the body and pulling, i tried getting a board... View More
