On December 19, 2006, the LaGrange City Council approved an ordinance dealing with pit bull dogs. The ordinance requires all pit bull dogs harbored in the City of LaGrange to be registered through the City of LaGrange Animal Control. The registration fee is $10.00. As part of the registration process owners will be required to show proof of liability insurance or surety bond in the amount of at least $50,000 for each dog. Owners will also be required to show proof of inoculation. All pit bull dogs over the age of 4 months are required to be spayed or neutered. Additionally, the location where the pit bull dog will be housed must be inspected and approved by a member of the LaGrange Animal Control prior to the registration being approved.

Any unlicensed pit bull found within the city may be seized and impounded at the city animal shelter and retained for ten days, during which time the owner may claim the animal upon proof of compliance with the city ordinance.
