§ 8-20-5. Surrender of dog or animal.

Latest version.

Any owner of an animal which has been involved in a biting incident must surrender that animal to the animal control administrator or his or her designee. Should the owner choose to relinquish ownership rights to the animal, he or she must sign a statement acknowledging that the animal may be destroyed and, if so, the remains submitted to the state laboratory for testing for the rabies virus. In addition, the owner will be required to pay boarding costs and other fees if the dog is kept at the shelter after being confiscated.
