When it is very warm or extremely cold outside, it is against the law in Sugar Land, Texas, to leave a dog or other animal inside of a parked vehicle, if it is likely that the animal’s health, welfare, or safety is jeopardized. A firefighter, police officer, or animal services officer may, by law, use reasonable force to rescue a dog from a car if that person believes that there is an emergency as regards preserving the dog’s safety, welfare, or health.
In Sugar Land, it is against the law for a dog to occupy the bed of a truck or trailer if the vehicle is traveling in excess of 35 miles per hour on a highway or public street. An exception is if the animal is in a secure enclosure, such as a pet kennel, or otherwise restrained in a way other than a neck restraint, to prevent the dog from falling or jumping out of the trailer or truck.
Animal services must investigate all dog bite or scratch incidents that break the skin. It is unlawful in Sugar Land for a person to kill or remove from the city limits any dog or other animal that has bitten a person or animal or that is under quarantine, except when it is necessary to protect a person’s or animal’s life.
All animals that bite or scratch a human or an animal in a manner that is unnatural or if that animal has a zoonotic disease such as rabies or is under suspicion of having a disease must be immediately confined by the owner. Animal services must be immediately notified regarding the place the animal is confined and the reason for the confinement. The animal must not be in contact with any person or animal.
