In addition to impoundment costs, owners are responsible for all shelter fees accrued and subject to all chapter requirements for ownership.
A. The owner of an animal impounded within the animal shelter shall pay a graduated impoundment fee from the second to fourth impoundment. An animal that is impounded on more than four (4) occasions in any twelve (12) month period shall not be released to the owner thereof without the prior written approval of the animal control officer. Any reimpoundment fee for such animal shall be double the highest fee paid. (See current animal shelter fee schedule.)
B. The owner of a dog, cat, or potbellied pig impounded on order of an animal control officer for ten (10) day quarantine at the shelter because of aggressive behavior shall be liable for double the regular impoundment fee. If the animal does not have a current rabies certificate that cost will be added. (Ord. 1067, 9-9-2002)
