Title 6 - Animals

6.08.060 Redemption of Impounded Animal - Vaccination.

Redemption of an animal impounded under the provisions of this section shall be permitted upon payment of any pound fees and any veterinarian fees then due and owing.  In the event the animal has not been vaccinated for rabies when the owner seeks to redeem the animal, the owner shall be required to sign a written acknowledgment of receipt of the animal which includes a written promise to the City to have the animal vaccinated and duly licensed with the City within seven days after receipt of the animal.  If a registered veterinarian determines it would be temporarily dangerous to the health of the animal to vaccinate it during this seven-day period, the owner will be given an extension of up to 30 days after the animal's release from impoundment in which to obtain the vaccination.  In either event, the license tag required by 6.04.030 shall be withheld pending final vaccination.
