If an animal control officer has investigated and determined there exists probable cause to believe an animal poses an immediate and serious threat to the safety of the public, then the animal control officer may seize and impound the animal pending the hearing to be held pursuant to Section 6.04.091(C). If confinement is not contrary to public safety, the chief officer may require the animal to be confined at the owner’s or keeper’s expense in a kennel or veterinary facility approved by the animal care and control program. (Ord. 248 § 7, 2005)
