A. The sheriff shall not license any dog until it has been vaccinated against rabies by a doctor qualified to practice veterinary medicine in the state in which such dog was vaccinated, and the owner of the dog shall be required to produce a certification of such vaccination. Each such certification of vaccination shall set forth the name and address of the owner of the dog, together with sufficient information to identify the dog vaccinated, the date of such vaccination and the type and lot of the vaccine used. No license shall be issued unless such certificate shows that a twenty four (24) month period from the date of vaccination will not expire prior to the end of the calendar year for which the license is to be issued.
B. A doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) who vaccinates any dog for rabies within the county shall prepare and deliver to the owner of such dog a certification of the vaccination. Such certification shall set forth all the requirements for such certificates described in subsection A of this section. Each owner shall also receive a durable vaccination tag indicating the year in which it was issued. (MC Ord. 102A § 2, 1986)
