Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.

Any animal that is suspected of or otherwise gives symptoms of having rabies shall be immediately reported to the animal control officer and shall thereupon be securely quarantined at the direction of the animal control officer for a period of 14 days at the animal shelter. The animal shall not be released from such quarantine except by written permission of an animal control officer upon documented proof of current rabies vaccination. For stray animals or for animals whose ownership is not known, such quarantine shall be at the shelter designated as the city pound.
