Chapter 6.08 DOGS
Section 6.08.100 Redemption of impounded dogs.
Any dog impounded under the provisions of this chapter, except
such as may have bitten any
person as specified in Section 6.08.120 shall, unless sooner redeemed, be held for the period of
five days in order to afford opportunity to the owner or keeper thereof to redeem the same. Any
such owner or keeper thereof desiring to redeem his impounded dog shall pay an impounding fee
of ten dollars ($10.00) and also the cost of keeping such dog while impounded, at the rate of two
dollars ($2.00) per day.
In case such dog has not been inoculated against rabies for
the current year, such owner shall
also advance the fee required to have such dog inoculated by a duly authorized licensed
veterinarian as he shall elect and the poundkeeper shall forthwith cause the dog to be duly
inoculated against rabies. No dog shall be released without having been inoculated for the current
calendar year, or in accordance with the requirements of the Department of Agriculture. Upon
payment of the required charges, the dog shall thereupon be released to the owner or keeper.
