COLLIER COUNTY NOW ANTI-TETHERING, CHANGES TNR & DANGEROUS DOG PANELS
Collier county is now an "anti-tethering" county. Dogs may no longer be chained and left alone. Dogs may only be tethered or chained with a responsible party in sight to oversee the animal’s welfare. Additionally, a number of safety precautions must be met such as requirements a
tethered dog be six months or older and healthy.

Regarding Trap, Neuter, Release, TNR will allow participating caregivers and DAS to ensure feral cats are spayed or neutered and vaccinated against rabies and to register feral colonies thus allowing for constant monitoring with the goal of reducing the number of feral cats in Collier County.

The Dangerous Dog Appeals Panel has been eliminated and replaced with the Special Magistrate now
responsible for all appeals.
