§ 6-110. Impoundment/destruction.

Latest version.

Any animal which has caused injury or bitten any person or animal, or which is the cause of an unprovoked attacked on any person, may be seized and impounded at the owner's expense by any code enforcement or police officer without notice to the owner. If, after making every reasonable attempt to seize such animal, including the solicitation of assistance from the animal's owner if such owner is immediately ascertainable and available, the officer determines that the animal cannot be seized without exposing the officer or other persons to danger of personal injury from the animal, and the animal presents a present danger to any person, property, or other animal, the officer may lawfully destroy the animal without notice to the animal owner.
