properly train and control their dogs; that existing laws inadequately address this growing problem; and that it is
appropriate and necessary to impose uniform requirements for dog owrers.

Chapter 14, ARTICLE I
Sec. 14-33. County Rabies/License certificate; tags, vaccination required.
Any owner of a dog, cat, or ferret shall have such animal vaccinated annually for rabies when the animal is
four months old or older. The owner of every dog, cat, and ferret shall have the animal revaccinated 12
months after the initial vaccination. Thereafter, the interval between vaccinations shall conform to the
vaccine manufacturer's directions. Every owner shall provide proof of vaccination upon demand of the health
officer or his designee or any other person authorized to enforce this Ordinance. Animal services may deny
issuance of a County rabies/license tag to any animal without a current rabies vaccination. No vaccination is
required if a licensed veterinarian certifies in writing that the vaccination would endanger the animal's
health.
