The California Food and Agriculture Code establishes some animal control regulations that apply Statewide and authorizes a county to adopt its own comprehensive regulations to control animals within its jurisdiction. This chapter establishes animal control regulations in the unincorporated area of the County related to dog licensing, rabies vaccinations, treatment and isolation of diseased animals, impoundment of strays, guard dogs, potentially dangerous dogs, cats and other animals. The purpose of this chapter is to supplement State law, to protect the health and safety of the public and animals in the unincorporated area of the County.
