Sec. 4-52. – Registration of animals in the city.

(c) Charge for dogs or cats tags; exception. It shall be unlawful for any person to own, keep, maintain, harbor, or possess any dog or cat in the city it if is three months of age or older unless such dog or cat shall be caused by the owner or keeper to wear around its neck a collar, harness, or other suitable material to which shall be securely attached a tag in the form prescribed by the Parish of Pointe Coupee, and on which shall appear the tag number. Only one such tag may be caused to be worn on such collar, harness or other material, and on it will be inscribed the vaccination register number, which number will be identical with the tag number. Such tag shall be furnished annually by the parish upon payment of the sum of (a) $6.00 for each spayed or neutered dog or cat which is six months or older; or (b) $12.00 for each unspayed or unneutered dog or cat which is six months or older. If any such tag shall become lost the owner or keeper of such dog or cat shall forthwith obtain a duplicate or substitute tag at a cost of $2.00 upon proving such loss. The tag required by this section shall not be issued unless the dog or cat is vaccinated at the time of the issuance of the tag. The tag fee covers the cost of the tag only; any fee charged for the anti-rabies vaccine and/or its injection shall be over and above the tag fee and is payable to the veterinarian for this service.
