It is unlawful to allow an animal to become a public nuisance,
including to allow:
A. An animal to be a danger to a person;
B. An animal to disturb the peace and quiet of a neighborhood with excessive
barking, whining, howling, chasing vehicles, attacking other domestic
animals, or damaging property;
C. An animal to repeatedly soil, defile, defecate, or commit another
nuisance upon public property, recreation areas, or private property
other than the owner's property;
D. An animal to enter private property without the property owner's
permission;
E. A female dog or cat in heat outside of a building or other proper
enclosure while not in the control or supervision of a person; or
F. An animal to cause an unsanitary, dangerous, or offensive condition
because of the size or number of animals in a single location or because
a facility is not appropriate or properly maintained.
To adopt a dog or cat from the Animal Control Authority, the
adopter must pay or reimburse the Animal Control Authority to neuter
or spay the animal (if not already done) and other reasonable charges
and fees. In addition, the adopter must certify in writing under penalty
of perjury that he or she has not been convicted of animal cruelty
or neglect by a court of law.
The County, the Animal Control Authority, and its officers and
employees are immune from liability for accidents, diseases, injuries,
or deaths to an animal while being impounded or boarded at the animal
control facility or a facility designated by the Animal Control Authority
to house the animal.
