A. Any impounded animal, except livestock, which is not redeemed within the holding period specified in this chapter may, as determined by the director of animal services, either be put up for adoption or humanely destroyed by the division of animal services. If an impounded animal is put up for adoption, such animal may be adopted by any qualified person upon submission of an application and payment of an adoption fee, the amount of which shall be established pursuant to Section 7.08.105. If such animal is subject to licensure under this title, the person adopting the animal shall, prior to the animal’s release, comply with the licensing requirements for the animal. If such animal is a dog or cat which has not been previously spayed or neutered, at the discretion of the director of animal services, the animal shall be spayed or neutered and the adopting person shall pay the applicable spay/neuter fee established pursuant to Section 7.08.105, or the person adopting the animal shall, prior to the animal’s release, provide a spaying or neutering deposit, the amount of which shall be established pursuant to Section 7.08.105. The director of animal services shall designate on the animal’s adoption papers the date by which the spaying or neutering of the animal shall be completed. Upon receipt of a notice from a veterinarian or spaying and neutering clinic that the animal has been spayed or neutered, the spay/neuter deposit as set forth in Section 7.08.105 shall be refunded to the person adopting the animal as set forth in Food and Agricultural Code Sections 30503(b) and 31751(b).
