Any animal that is reported to have bitten a human may be picked up by a County Dog Warden and impounded in the County Animal Shelter for the applicable quarantine period. In the event an animal is impounded for a quarantine period, the owner shall be responsible for a boarding fee set forth by the County Fiscal Court and any additional fees related to rabies inoculation and county licensing that may apply. If an animal is not claimed by the owner within five days of release from the quarantine period, the animal will be considered abandoned and may be humanely euthanized or adopted as deemed appropriate by the Director of the County Animal Shelter.
