In the event a dog is turned over by law enforcement to the
Town of Kingsbury Dog Control Officer or Code Enforcement Officer
for reasons of safe keeping and where no other violation of this chapter
exists and wherein law enforcement is unable to find suitable care
for the dog, the Dog Control Officer or Code Enforcement Officer may
assist and hold dog(s) for safe keeping at the Town's contracted
shelter for no more than seven days from the date of pickup. If the
seventh day falls on a day where the owner is unable to redeem the
dog(s) due to the Town Hall or shelter being closed, the owner will
be given until the next business day to redeem. The owner will be
responsible for a $25 administration fee, per dog, to the Town plus
prevailing charge per shelter contract. If the owner or agent acting
on the owner's behalf does not redeem the dog and pay all fees
associated with the dog's impoundment by the close of business
of the Town Hall office on the final redemption day, they will have
released ownership of the dog(s) to the Town for adoption or euthanasia.
The owner will be responsible for all fees and costs incurred by the
Town.
