§ 8-65. Dangerous and potentially dangerous animal hearing.  


Latest version.
  • Upon motion by the city, the county court may determine ex parte whether reasonable grounds exist to find that an animal may constitute a danger to any person or persons if not impounded. If the court finds that reasonable grounds exist, the court may enter orders to have the animal seized and impounded or to extend the impoundment, until the completion of all legal proceedings to determine whether a violation of sections 8-61, 8-62, or 8-63 has occurred. If an animal is ordered to be impounded pursuant to this subsection, the owner or keeper of the animal shall have fourteen (14) days to a request a hearing in the county court to review the order. The hearing shall be set within fourteen (14) days of the owner or keeper's hearing request.
