§ 6.04.460. Vicious animals—Order to control.

Upon receipt of a complaint about a vicious animal, the animal control officer shall investigate the circumstances upon which the complaint is based. If the animal control officer finds that the animal is a vicious animal, he shall notify the owner of the vicious animal, if known, of all the facts and circumstances. The animal control officer may order the owner to keep the animal within an enclosure or under any other type of control the animal control officer deems adequate under the circumstances. Failure of the owner to provide adequate control of the vicious animal as prescribed by the animal control officer is a violation of this section and shall be dealt with under the provisions of Section 6.04.470 and this article.
