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)
