Every physician or other medical practitioner who treats a person or persons for any animal bite or scratch or any person having knowledge of an animal bite or scratch shall within 12 hours report such treatment to the humane division giving the name, age, sex and precise location of the bitten/scratched person or persons and such other information as the officer or agency may require.
(Ordinance 3235, § 1, adopted 4/22/2013)
Any veterinarian who clinically diagnoses rabies or any person who suspects rabies in a dog, cat or other domestic or wild animal shall immediately report the incident to the local rabies control authority (LRCA) or as otherwise designated by the city manager stating precisely where such animal may be found. If a known suspected rabid animal bites or scratches a domestic animal, such incident shall also be reported as required above.
(Ordinance 3235, § 1, adopted 4/22/2013)
(a) 
Dogs, cats and ferrets.
Any owned dog, cat or ferret which has bitten or scratched a person shall be observed for a period of 240 hours from the time of the bite or scratch. The procedure and place of observation shall be designated by the investigating officer or responsible agency, in compliance with state law. If the dog, cat or ferret is not confined on the owner's premises, confinement shall be by impoundment in the animal adoption and rescue center, or at a veterinary hospital of the owner's choice, within a ten-mile radius of the city. Such confinement shall be at the owner's expense. Stray dogs, cats or ferrets whose owner's cannot be located shall be confined in the animal adoption and rescue center for a period of four business days and if unclaimed may be destroyed and the brain of such animal immediately submitted to a qualified laboratory for rabies examination at the victim's expense. The owner of any dog, cat or ferret that has been reported to have inflicted a bite on any person shall, on demand, produce said dog, cat or ferret for impoundment, as prescribed in this article. Home quarantine as defined in section 14-2, may be allowed only in those incidents where permitted by state law and agreed to by the LRCA. Refusal to produce said dog, cat or ferret constitutes a violation of this section and each day of such refusal shall constitute a separate and individual violation.
(b) 
Wild, exotic or dangerous animals.
Any wild, exotic or dangerous animal as defined in section 14-2, and considered "high risk" according to state law, which has bitten or scratched a person shall be caught and humanely killed and the brain submitted for rabies examination. Those wild animals which are classified as "low risk" animals shall be handled as dictated by state law.
