§ 9.04.050. Redemption.  


Latest version.
  • The owner of any animal impounded under this Chapter may reclaim such animal upon payment of all costs and charges incurred by the Town for such impoundment and keeping of such animal, provided that the owner shall also forthwith obtain a current rabies tag and identification tag as applicable, if such dog or cat does not have such tag. If the animal was impounded as a result of pending charges under Section 9.01.010, 9.02.030, 9.03.060, 9.05.010 or 9.05.030 of this Title or any state statute, the animal will not be returned to the owner or keeper until any conditions made by the Animal Welfare Officer or the court have been met by the owner or keeper. The court also has the option to order that the animal not be returned to the owner or keeper, and instead order the animal to be disposed of in whatever humane manner the court or Town sees fit.
