A. Dead animals may be picked up from residences by the animal control officer upon request. However, in the event the carcass is decomposed, swollen, or has burst or is under a house, building, or other structure or is in attics or cannot otherwise be reasonably reached, it is the owner's responsibility to dispose of the carcass in a proper manner at his or her expense.
B. Owners may deposit an animal with an animal control officer or city authorized agent at the animal shelter or its authorized agent providing an impoundment card is signed releasing custody of the animal to the city. Once the animal is released to the city, the animal becomes the property of the city and may be disposed of as provided in this part.
C. Animals will be euthanized at an owner's request by the animal control division provided the owner signs an impoundment card releasing custody of the animal to the city and upon payment of the fee as provided in the fee schedule. (Ord. 1510, 8-8-2000)
