Fort Collins Dog Bite Victims' Support

About Me

Last month, my 7-year-old son was attacked and bitten, unprovoked, by a dog at large (pit bull/German Shepherd mix) here in our hometown of Fort Collins. I was surprised at the lax attitude of the Larimer Humane Society Animal Control officers I interacted with, so I started looking into local and state laws and reaching out to other victims.

I started this blog to share my discoveries with other dog bite victims in town, and to encourage them to share their own stories. Based on my research, my own experiences, and the experiences of other victims I've spoken with, I think Fort Collins needs to have more specific guidelines in their dangerous dog ordinance.

Please share your own experience in the Comments section, so that we victims and family of victims can support each other. Perhaps if we establish a pattern of lax enforcement, we'll have grounds to demand change in the wording of the Fort Collins Dangerous Dog ordinance.

Thank you!
