§ 90.10 IMPOUNDING.

(D)   All impounded dogs and cats, excepting feral cats, shall be kept for not less than 5 days, unless reclaimed or relinquished by their owner or keeper. Upon impoundment, if an owner is known, the Animal Control Officer or peace officer shall immediately notify the owner orally or by written notice of the impoundment of the animal. Any animal not claimed or relinquished by its owner or keeper within 5 days of its impoundment may be placed in a suitable new home or humanely euthanized as determined by the officials of the animal shelter. In the event that an animal is to be adopted out rather than euthanized, the prospective adoptive owner shall first purchase a rabies vaccination voucher from the animal control shelter and have the animal sexually altered, if not already done, within 10 days.
