A. If a dog or cat is too ill to be vaccinated against rabies at the time that the time limits set forth in Sections 6.12.050 or 6.12.060 expire, then the date for securing the dog or cat license is extended until thirty (30) days after the date on which the animal is well enough to be vaccinated, and no delinquent penalties shall be charged for issuance of the animal license during said thirty (30) day period. However, an extension of time shall not be granted pursuant to this section unless the application for the license is accompanied by a certificate signed by a veterinarian setting forth facts which show that the dog or cat comes within the provisions of this section.
B. The Poundmaster shall not license any dog or cat if the owner presents a certificate from a licensed veterinarian, issued within the preceding sixty (60) days, stating that in their opinion, the rabies vaccination would be likely to seriously injure the dog or cat. Any dog or cat so excepted from rabies vaccination shall be restricted to the house or enclosed property of the owner or person in possession of the animal except when held under control or restraint by such person. Any violation thereof by the owner or person in possession of such dog or cat is unlawful.
