If the Animal Services Coordinator suspects that an impounded dog has rabies, the dog will be inspected by a county health officer. Should the dog be found to have rabies, it will be disposed of or confined for such time as the Health Officer directs. In the event that the health officer suspects that the dog may develop rabies, it will be confined for such time as the health officer directs. Whenever the Health Officer determines that the dog does not have rabies, it will be released in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
