In all prosecutions for violations of this chapter the person who applied for, and obtained the license for the dog in question shall be deemed the person responsible for the violation, unless there has been a transfer of ownership prior to the violation. Any transfer of ownership must be evidenced by a transfer notification. The notification must include the name and address of the transferee to the town clerk. Notification of the animal's death will eliminate receipt of a license renewal reminder. (Ord. 135, 11-5-2010)
