§ 12.04.100 BITING DOGS; RABIES CONTROL.
   (A)   Every dog which bites a person shall be promptly reported to the Department of Public Safety and shall upon capture be securely quarantined for a period of 10 days. Such dog shall not be released from quarantine, except by permission of the Director. The quarantine may, at the sole discretion of the Director, be on the premises of the owner, at the premises of the owner, at the animal shelter or, at the owner's option and expense, in a veterinary hospital of his or her choice. In the case of stray dogs, such quarantine shall be at the animal shelter.
   (B)   The owner, upon demand made by the Animal Control Officer, shall forthwith surrender any dog which has bitten a human or which is suspected as having been exposed to rabies, for supervised quarantine. The expense of such quarantine shall be borne by the city. Such dog may be reclaimed by the owner if adjudged free of rabies and not vicious.
   (C)   When a dog under quarantine has been diagnosed as being rabid, such dog may be humanely destroyed.
   (D)   When the Director's report gives a positive diagnosis of rabies, the city may recommend an areawide quarantine. After public notice of an areawide quarantine is given by the City Manager, no animal shall be taken into the streets or permitted to be in the streets during such period of quarantine. During such quarantine, no animal may be taken or shipped from the city without written permission of the Director.
   (E)   In the event there are additional positive cases of rabies occurring during the period of the quarantine, the period of areawide quarantine may be extended for whatever additional period in the judgment of the Director such quarantine is needed.
   (F)   No person shall kill or cause to be killed any rabid animal or any animal suspected of having been exposed to rabies, except as herein provided, nor shall any person remove such animal from the city without the permission of the Director.
   (G)   The carcass of any dead animal exposed to rabies shall upon demand be surrendered to the Department of Public safety.
   (H)   The Director shall direct the disposition of any animal found to be infected with rabies.
   (I)   No person shall fail or refuse to surrender any animal for quarantine or destruction as required herein when demand is made therefor by the Animal Control Officer.
