(A) Whenever an animal is to be put to death under this chapter, except for infection with rabies, the owner or other person may apply to the City Court for permission to remove the animal permanently from the municipality.
(B) Upon such person’s filing with the court his or her written agreement to remove the animal from the municipality and be responsible for its remaining out permanently, the City Judge may, in his or her discretion, make an order allowing the animal to be removed from the municipality instead of being put to death.
