It shall be unlawful for any person to own, keep, have in possession, or harbor any canine which howls, yelps, or barks to the reasonable annoyance of another person or persons. Any person violating this section who, upon first requested by an Animal Control Officer or any duly authorized assistant to stop or prevent the annoyance and refuses to comply with the request, will be issued a citation and, if the officer deems it necessary to stop the annoyance, may have the canine taken to the city animal pound. Any canine placed in the pound may be reclaimed by the owner upon payment of the fee prescribed. If not reclaimed, it may be disposed of in the proper manner.
