1. It shall be the duty of the Borough official charged with the enforcement of this Part to impound any dog found at large and not confined to the dog owner’s premises. If the owner or custodian of the animal can be ascertained and located, a summons may be issued and the animal may, in lieu of impoundment, be released to its owner or custodian. However, within 72 hours of the animal’s release, the owner must present the Borough official with a valid rabies certificate or surrender the animal to the Borough official.
2. Should it be necessary for a Borough official to seize or pickup a large animal such as a horse, cow or mule, or any other animal not acceptable to an animal shelter or animal hospital, he or she is hereby empowered to have such animal removed by a trucking firm at the animal owner’s expense to a farm or stable where such animal can be housed. If no such place exists within the Borough, such animals may be taken outside the Borough limits.
