Full Breakdown

Little Chute's only spay/neuter mandate sits inside its dangerous-animal ordinance, not a general pet-population rule. Once a law enforcement officer's declaration that an animal is dangerous becomes final, the owner or custodian has 30 days to provide the police department with written proof from a licensed veterinarian that the animal has been spayed or neutered. The requirement runs alongside the ordinance's other post-declaration duties, annual registration, $1,000,000 liability insurance, leashing, muzzling, and secure confinement, and applies only to that specific animal, not to pets in the village generally.

Violations & Fines

Missing the 30-day veterinary-proof deadline is a violation of the dangerous-animal ordinance, subject to the Sec. 6-30 forfeiture of $250 to $500 per day like other Sec. 6-26 compliance failures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Little Chute require all dogs and cats to be spayed or neutered?
No. There is no village-wide spay/neuter law: the requirement applies only to an animal the police department has formally declared dangerous under Sec. 6-25.
What happens if I don't get proof of spay/neuter in time?
You're out of compliance with the dangerous-animal ordinance, exposing you to the same $250-$500 daily forfeiture that applies to other Sec. 6-26 violations.
