Sec. 14-36. – Notice to owners of impounded animals.

(c) If a second offense occurs by the owner for the same animal within two years of a first offense, it is mandatory that the animal be spayed or neutered within one week after the owner claims the animal, whether it is a purebred or mixed breed. A sworn, notarized statement from a veterinarian, licensed to practice veterinary medicine in the state, must be received by animal control within ten working days following the animal’s release from animal control. Such statement must state that the animal has been spayed, neutered or euthanized by the veterinarian, in compliance with this article, or must explain in detail that for health reasons, the animal can not be spayed or neutered. The owner of such animal will be considered in violation of this article for failure to submit a veterinarian’s statement, and shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of up to $500.00 and/or imprisonment and jail for a period not to exceed 60 days, or both. A $250.00 fine will be imposed for the second offense, and is in addition to the cost of any spaying or neutering.
