[Adopted 4-16-1974 by L.L. No. 1-1974]
As used in this Article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Any dog trained to patrol private property, attack intruders
on private property, on command or otherwise, or to respond to commands
in general for the purpose of patrolling enclosed private lands and
for protecting property.
Individuals, partnerships, corporations and unincorporated
associations.
Such animals as are regularly harbored by police departments
and armed forces which, if they were in the employ of private citizens,
would be deemed guard dogs.
No person who is in the business of leasing
guard dogs to protect private property in the Town of Islip shall
do so without first obtaining a license therefor from the Town Clerk
of the Town of Islip.
Police K-9 dogs and/or armed forces K-9 dogs
shall be exempt from the licensing requirement of this article.
After a person shall have obtained a license
as a lessor or renter of a guard dog, said person, as a condition
of said license, shall immediately notify the Suffolk County Police
Department and the district Fire Department involved of the address
and location of every guard dog so rented out, the name of the person
renting the guard dog and for how long the rental contract shall be
in existence. At the conclusion of a guard dog rental he shall again
immediately notify both the Suffolk County Police Department and the
appropriate Fire Department that the guard dog has been removed from
the person's property who rented the same.
Persons in the business of leasing guard dogs
shall advise the Police Department and/or the Fire Department servicing
their kennel area as to the number of guard dogs on their premises,
the location of the kennel on the premises and the location, if any,
where guard dogs are loose and unmuzzled.
Any person who rents a guard dog for any purpose
whatsoever shall post a sign not less than one foot square advising
the public that a guard dog is employed on the premises. Each renter
of a guard dog shall post one such sign on any area of his property
fronting on a public highway or street, and, in the event that the
property has more than 75 feet of frontage thereon, he shall be required
to post an additional sign for every additional frontage over 75 feet
to be determined and to do so at seventy-five-foot intervals.
Persons in the business of leasing guard dogs
shall pay a fee for the license in the sum of $100.

Editor's Note: Former § 12-17, Penalties
for offenses, was repealed 11-16-1982.
This Article shall not be construed to relieve
from nor lessen responsibility of any person for loss of life or damage
to person or property caused by any acts of guard dogs owned, leased,
harbored or used by said person, nor shall the Town of Islip be deemed
to have assumed such liability by reason of any license issued.
The imposition of the penalties heretofore provided
shall not preclude the Town of Islip from instituting any appropriate
action or proceeding to prevent an unlawful use or maintenance or
to prevent any further illegal acts or uses with regard to guard dogs.
This Article shall take effect when the appropriate
certified copies hereof are filed with the Secretary of State and
the Comptroller of the State of New York pursuant to the Municipal
Home Rule Law.
