Sec. 4-97. - Disposition of impounded animals.
As soon as practicable after impoundment, notice of impoundment shall be given to the owner if the owner is known or can be located. Any impounded animal shall be released to the owner upon payment of the impoundment fee, care and feeding charges, veterinarian charges, and such other costs as may have been incurred; provided, however, in addition to the payment of the foregoing fees, costs and expenses, no impounded dog shall be released until a license has been issued for such dog pursuant to the terms and provisions of this chapter or, alternatively, until the owner of said dog has been issued a citation or a summons and complaint for failure to license said animal in accordance with the requirements of this chapter.
If an impounded animal is not redeemed within four (4) days after impoundment and during which the impounding facility is open to the public, the impounded animal shall be considered abandoned and may be placed for adoption or humanely euthanized at the discretion of the La Plata County Humane Society.
For animals impounded pursuant to Section 4-14, the four-day redemption period begins upon the court’s final disposition of the matter following the hearing required under Section 4-99, provided the court orders the animal released from impoundment.
WHEREAS, City of Durango Municipal Code of Ordinances (MCO) sec. 4-97 currently requires animals to be redeemed within four (4) days after impoundment; and
