Any dog which bites a person shall be quarantined for a time as may be directed by the City Health Officer or his or her Deputy. During quarantine, the animal shall be securely confined and kept from contact with any other animal. At the discretion of the Health Officer, the quarantine may be on the premises of the owner; however, if the Health Officer requires other confinement, the owner shall surrender the animal for the quarantine period to an animal shelter or shall, at his or her own expense, place in a veterinary hospital.
