No impounded animal shall be adopted until it has been given all appropriate shots and has been neutered or spayed in the case of an adult animal. An impounded animal who is available for adoption and is too young to be neutered or spayed may be adopted once it has been given all appropriate shots and the adoptive owner has agreed in writing to have the animal neutered or spayed within six months. Veterinarian charges shall be paid by the adoptive owner and such charges shall be set out in the fee schedule on file in the office of the city clerk and shall be payable upon adoption of such animal.
