[Adopted 5-5-1986 as Title Four, Ch. XIX of the

Definitions of terms as used in this article, unless the context otherwise
indicates, are dictated by the following:
Both male and female.
Any person or persons, firm, association or corporation keeping,
harboring or owning a dog.
Off the premises, residence or property of the owner and not under
the direct control of the owner or some responsible individual, whether by
leash, cord, chain or other restraint device.
It shall be unlawful to permit any dog to run at large within the City
of Franklin.
Any dog found running at large may be restrained or impounded by an
animal control officer of the Franklin Police Department. Any animal so impounded
may be confined in a suitable facility for a reasonable period of time. Impounded
dogs not claimed by the owners within 72 hours after notice to the owner,
if known, may be humanely disposed of by an animal control officer of the
Franklin Police Department. Dogs impounded not wearing a valid rabies vaccination
tag must be impounded for a period of seven days in accordance with R.S.A.
436:107 (Rabies Control Act) before disposal.
[Added 4-1-1991 by Ord. No. 91-1]
The owner of any dog subject to the provisions of this article or any
other local or state regulations dealing with municipal custody of such animals
shall be liable to the city in an amount equal to all expenses associated
with the capture, impoundment, maintenance or any other expense associated
with the animal. The sole exception to this provision shall be in the event
that any limitation upon such recovery is required by state law.
The enforcement of this article shall be the responsibility of the Police
Department of the City of Franklin.
