55.19 RELEASE FOR ADOPTION.

2.   Any adoption shall be subject to the following:

[…]

C.   All dogs and cats must be spayed or neutered.

56.01 LICENSE REQUIRED.

All cats and dogs four months of age or older which are harbored, kept, or maintained in the City shall be licensed. A license must be purchased within thirty (30) days after a cat or dog is first acquired, harbored, kept, maintained, or brought into the City by a person residing in the City. Licenses must be renewed no later than January for that calendar year. Owners and custodians of cats and dogs are responsible and liable for complying with the licensing requirements set out in this chapter. This provision does not apply to police dogs as defined in Section 55.02(20).

56.02 FEES. License fees and penalties for cats and dogs shall be set by resolution by the City Council. Senior rate (for persons age 62 and over), if applicable, will eliminate the above fee for one license for a neutered or spayed animal. The City shall waive its licensure fee upon request for service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Any person who, for the reason of securing a cat or dog license, falsely represents whether the cat or dog is spayed or neutered or non-spayed or non-neutered shall be in violation of this section.
