Sec. 14-179Veterinarian to quarantine suspected rabies cases
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.
All veterinarians treating an animal indicating symptoms of rabies shall hold such animal in quarantine until the disposition of the animal by the animal control officer.
