Sec. 14-73Physical facilities
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter covers keeping animals in town: loose dogs and livestock, rabies shots and tags, reporting bites, cruelty and neglect, impoundment at the city's designated shelter, and the rules for dogs classified as dangerous or vicious. A word of caution: a lot of it is printed twice (rules from 2001 and again from 2011), and two different sets of dangerous-dog rules are still on the books, so it's worth asking the city which version they enforce.
(a) The animal shelter for the City of Ashburn shall be located at a place or agency designated by the city council.
(b) The facilities shall be constructed so as to provide security for the citizens of the surrounding area and for the animals under .
(c) Facilities for sanitary storage of feed and secure storage of medicines and other chemicals shall be provided.
(d) Facilities for the humane destruction of animals or fowl and the appropriate means for disposal of the remains shall be provided.
This is a plain-English guide, not legal advice. The official code is on Municode and at City Hall. Our copy is from April 30, 2026.
