§ 3-22. Impoundment of animals; generally.

Latest version.

(a)

Any animal found in violation of any provision of this chapter or any animal that is treated in a cruel or inhumane manner may be impounded by the city and placed in the city's animal shelter. Any such animal shall be held for at least five days, except that any dog or cat wearing a current vaccination tag and/or a city registration tag shall be held for ten days before any measure of disposition of such animal shall be taken. Any impounded animal that is found to be vicious or wild may be immediately and appropriately disposed of provided there is no evidence that said animal has an owner.

(b)

A reasonable effort will be made by animal control to contact the owner of any impounded animal that is wearing a current registration tag; however, the ultimate responsibility for the location of an impounded animal is that of the owner.
