§ 4.04.240 Impoundment—Disposition.

A. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, an impounded animal which is not redeemed within the applicable holding period specified in this chapter may, in the discretion of the director of animal control, be sold, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of.

B. If an animal is sold, the receipt signed by the director of animal control shall be valid title to the purchaser. When any dog or cat is to be sold pursuant to this chapter, prior to the delivery of the animal, there shall be deposited by the purchaser with animal control, a spaying or neutering deposit which shall be designated for the veterinarian of the purchaser’s choice, for the partial payment of the spaying or neutering operation. The amount of the deposit shall be designated by the director of animal control. The purchaser shall be responsible for any additional costs of the spaying or neutering operation over and above the deposit. Upon receipt from the veterinarian that a spaying or neutering operation has been performed, the deposit will be forwarded to the veterinarian. In the event that the purchaser fails to have the animal spayed or neutered within the six-month period following its purchase, the spaying and neutering deposit will be forfeited and shall become the property of the county.

§ 4.04.290 Licenses.

B. Every dog over four months of age shall be subject to an annual license fee in the amount of ten dollars. Upon presentation of a certificate from a licensed veterinarian that a dog has been spayed or neutered, the license fee shall be five dollars. When the cost of the dog license is prorated it shall be at the rate of one dollar and twenty-five cents per month in the case of fifteen dollar licenses or fifty cents per month or part of a month in the case of five dollar licenses.
