(A) No person shall permit any dog or cat to run at large or be at large within the city. Any dog or cat found running at large within the city is subject to apprehension and impound by the department and disposal as provided in this section 6-4-2. No dog confined as a result of running at large will be released until proof of rabies vaccination and a valid license has been provided to the animal shelter facility.
(B) For purposes of this section, "permit" means any of the following:
1. To affirmatively permit or allow;
2. Inaction by one who knew or should have known the dog or cat was at large and failed to end the "at large" behavior;
3. Placement of the dog or cat in a physical location or a set of circumstances such that it is unreasonable to assume the animal will not run at large or be at large. (Ord. 06-21, 9-18-2006)
