Chapter 7.04 RABIES CONTROL
Section 7.04.120 Rabies - quarantine - place.
Such dog or cat or other animal may be placed in quarantine at a location designated
by the
health officer. If the animal has not been properly immunized against rabies, the animal shall be
quarantined at the Animal Shelter or any animal hospital at the expense of the owner. If the
animal has been properly immunized against rabies, the animal may be placed in quarantine at
the owner's home if the health officer deems it a proper location, taking into consideration all of
the following: The circumstances of the bite, the history of the animal, the facilities of the
owner
(including whether the animal can be kept, tied and isolated from all other animals and cannot
come into contact with any person or persons other than the owner) and the willingness of the
owner to cooperate. It is unlawful to permit an animal placed in quarantine at the owner's home
to be untied or to come into contact with persons or other animals. If, in the opinion of the health
officer, the owner's home is not an appropriate place to quarantine the animal, the dog, cat or
other domesticated animal may be quarantined at the Animal Shelter or any animal hospital at the
expense of the owner. (Ord. 89/T-8055)
