The Illinois Animal Control Act and the Will County
Animal Control Ordinance prohibits any dog from running-at-large.
It is the responsibility of the pet owner to make sure that their
dog remains on their property or else be under restraint.
When an animal control officer picks up a stray animal
it is impounded at an animal shelter. In order for the pet to be released,
the owner must pay the fine, the board charge, as well as show proof
of current vaccinations. Animals that are not claimed after seven
days may be adopted or humanely euthanized.
