If, in the judgment of the animal control officer, such kennel is not being maintained in good repair and in a sanitary and humane manner or if the animal control officer finds that communicable or infectious disease or other unsatisfactory conditions exist in the kennel, he or she may issue such orders as he or she deems necessary for the correction of such conditions and may quarantine the premises and animals. If the owner or keeper of such kennel fails to comply with such orders, the animal control officer shall revoke or suspend the kennel license of such owner or keeper.
