§ 7. Destructive dogs, impoundment and control.

(a)

In the event any person is charged with a violation of section six of this ordinance, the dog allegedly kept in violation thereof may be impounded by the Scott County Animal Control Officer in the Scott County Animal Shelter until such time as the owner thereof shall redeem such dog by providing evidence of the adequate provisions to be made to protect other dogs and/or property from such dog, which provision may include securing of the dog on the premises of the owners, with defined limitation of access, or muzzling, or both; any dog released under such conditions shall be kept under such secured provisions, and any person failing to so keep such dog secured shall be guilty of a separate violation of section seven of this ordinance.

(b)

The owner of such dog redeeming the dog from impoundment as provided above shall also pay a boarding fee of Three Dollars ($3.00) per day and shall furnish a proper dog license and rabies inoculation certificate for such dog.

(c)

Any such dog not redeemed from impoundment within five (5) days of the disposition of the original charge of a violation of section seven of this ordinance by the court shall be destroyed in a humane manner. Provided, however, that any disposition of the original charge of a violation of section seven other than a finding of guilty shall nullify the effect of this section.
