Requires any animal designated as "dangerous" to be under physical control by an adult 18 years of age or older whenever the animal is off of the premises of its owner. Requires owners of dangerous animals that relocate to notify both the Administrator of the County Animal Control where he or she has relocated to and the Administrator of the County Animal Control where he or she formerly resided.
