[Adopted 1-13-1981 by Ord. No. MC 2622 as Ch. 65, Part 1, Art. III, of
the 1981 Revised Code]
No person shall operate in a residential zone in the Town an
establishment wherein or whereon dogs, cats or other animals are received
or kept for diagnostic, medical, surgical or other treatment.
In order that proper supervision may be made of establishments
where dogs, cats or other animals are received or kept for diagnostic,
medical, surgical or other treatment, it shall be unlawful for any
person to operate such an establishment unless and until he shall
have first made known to the Health Officer of the Town, in writing,
his name and the location of such establishment; also, whether he
is a licensed veterinarian of the state. Such person shall also file
with the Health Officer a photostat of such license and a description
of the premises where such dogs, cats and other animals will be received,
treated and cared for.
In any establishment regulated by this article, if any dog or
other animal is received for observation for possible rabies, a record
shall be kept and forwarded by the person operating such establishment
to the Health Officer of the Town, and it shall be incumbent upon
such operator to so confine such dog or other animal that it will
not escape from such premises.
In any establishment regulated by this article, if dogs, cats
or other animals are kept overnight for more than a period of 12 hours,
a record shall be made of such cases and forwarded to the Health Officer,
and such record shall also state the history of such cases and the
reason for such dogs, cats or other animals for the period above mentioned.[1]
