Does the parish have regulations for owning Pit Bull dogs?
There are some special rules when it comes to Pit Bulls. All Pit Bulls in St. Charles Parish must be registered with the Animal Control office via a microchip. Color pictures of the animal must be filed with registration. An Animal Control officer will inspect the living quarters of the dog before the registration can be approved. Please contact the shelter at (985) 783-5010 for more information on setting up a proper enclosure for your Pit Bull, or log on to the parish Web site and search for ‘Pit Bull’ in the Code of Ordinances.
