Sec. 6-106. – Disposition of unclaimed dogs.

(b) No dog may be transferred to the permanent custody of a prospective owner unless:

(1) Such dog has been surgically spayed or neutered before the physical transfer of the dog occurs; or

(2) The prospective owner signs an agreement to have the dog spayed or neutered and deposits with the city not less than the lowest nor more than the highest cost of spaying or neutering in the community as determined by the city. Any funds deposited pursuant to such an agreement shall be refunded to such person upon presentation of a written statement signed by a licensed veterinarian that the dog has been spayed or neutered. If such person does not reclaim the deposit within six months after receiving custody of the dog, the city shall keep the deposit and may reclaim the unspayed or unneutered dog.
