    (510 ILCS 5/9)  (from Ch. 8, par. 359)


    Sec. 9. Any dog found running at large contrary to 
provisions of this Act
may
be apprehended and impounded. For 
this purpose, the Administrator shall
utilize any existing or 
available animal control facility or licensed animal shelter. 
The dog's owner shall pay a $25 public safety fine to be 
deposited into the county animal control fund or the county 
pet population control fund. Funds transferred to or retained 
by a municipality before the effective date of this amendatory 
Act of the 100th General Assembly under this paragraph shall 
continue to be transferred to and be retained by that 
municipality. A dog found running at large contrary to the 
provisions of this Act a second or subsequent time must be 
sterilized spayed or neutered within 30 days after being 
reclaimed unless already sterilized spayed or neutered; 
failure to comply shall result in impoundment.

    A dog that is actively engaged in a legal hunting 
activity, including training, is not considered to be running 
at large if the dog is on land that is open to hunting or on 
land on which the person has obtained permission to hunt or to 
train a dog.  A dog that is in a dog-friendly area or dog park 
is not considered to be running at large if the dog is 
monitored or supervised by a person.
