1. Licensed dogs whose owners are non-residents temporarily within the jurisdiction for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days. Licensed dogs whose owners remain within the jurisdiction longer than thirty (30) days may transfer to the local license upon payment of the required transfer fee and proof of current rabies vaccinations; and
2. Individual dogs within a properly licensed dog kennel or other such establishment when such dogs are held for resale.
B. There is no limit on the number of licensed cats and dogs which may be kept on property upon which a legal nonconforming agricultural use exists, except that this exception shall not be construed to allow animals to be kept in such numbers or under such conditions as to create a nuisance, or to endanger the health and safety of those animals or that of any person or persons. This exception does not relieve the owner of the property from the obligation to license all cats and dogs as required by this title.
C. The fee provisions of section 6.16.010 of this chapter shall not apply to:
1. Seeing-eye dogs properly trained to assist blind persons if such dogs are actually being used by blind persons to assist those persons to move from place to place;
2. Hearing dogs properly trained to assist deaf persons if such dogs are actually used by deaf persons to assist those persons to respond to sounds;
3. Dogs especially trained to assist officials of government agencies in the performance of their duties and which are owned by such agencies.
D. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed so as to exempt any animal from having a current rabies vaccination.
