(A) Whenever the owner or person having the custody or possession of any animal observes or learns that such animal has shown symptoms of rabies, or has acted in a manner that would lead a reasonable person to suspect that it might have rabies, that owner or person having the custody or possession of such animal must immediately notify an Animal Control Officer or Health Officer or his representative and must permit the Animal Control Officer or Health Officer to make an inspection or examination of such animal.
(B) Whenever it appears to an Animal Control Officer or Health Officer that there is reason to believe that any dog or other animal has rabies, or has been exposed to rabies, the Animal Control Officer or Health Officer may quarantine such animal until it can be established to the satisfaction of the Animal Control Officer or Health Officer that such animal either does not have rabies, or that the owner is capable of quarantining the animal on the owner's property.
