A person that knows or has reason to know that an animal is infected with rabies, has been exposed to rabies, or has been bitten by another animal infected with rabies shall immediately notify an animal control officer, and, if such person is the owner or has lawful possession of the animal, shall surrender the animal to such officer. For purposes of this section an animal will be suspected of having rabies whenever it bites another animal or person. In the event an animal taken into custody pursuant to this section is afflicted with rabies, the animal shall be confined for such time or disposed of as the animal control officer directs. Any confinement, quarantine or disposal of an animal pursuant to this section shall be at the owner's expense. (Ord. 433, 1-26-2010, eff. 3-1-2010)
