A. During the period of any quarantine, the owner or custodian of a quarantined animal shall not allow the animal to come in contact with any other animal or person or permit such animal to run at large outside of the premises where quarantined or upon the premises itself, unless the premises is enclosed by a secure fence from which the animal cannot escape. When the fence encloses the access to the premises, the animal must be restricted to leave free access to those persons lawfully entering the premises.

B. The owner or custodian shall not remove or cause the animal to be removed from the premises without the prior consent of the Health Officer. These restrictions shall continue until the animal is released from quarantine. If any animal is found running at large after the commencement of the quarantine period or is removed from the premises where quarantined, it shall be impounded and unless claimed and redeemed by its owner or custodian within two days after the expiration of the quarantine period, may be destroyed by the proper authorities.

C. Upon redemption of a dog, cat or other animal released from quarantine, the owner or custodian shall pay the same impound fee and board fee for any dog, cat or other animal quarantined, as provided for in PCC 6.02.070; provided, however, if the animal is surrendered by the owner or custodian, the service fee shall be waived.
