1. Inoculation Of Dogs, Cats And Ferrets: No dog, cat or ferret shall be registered until after it shall have been inoculated by a licensed veterinarian with an approved and recognized rabies vaccine and a certificate signed by such licensed veterinarian certifying to such inoculation shall have been presented to the police department showing that the animal has been inoculated, which will render such animal immune from rabies for the period of registration.
-
2. Examining Potbellied Pigs: No potbellied pig shall be registered until after it has been tested and examined by a licensed veterinarian against infectious disease and a certificate signed by such licensed veterinarian certified to such examination shall have been presented to the police department for the period of the registration.
-
C. Record Kept By Police Department: The police department shall record in a book kept for that purpose the name and address of the person who owns or has charge of the dog, cat, ferret or potbellied pig, a brief description of the dog, cat, ferret or potbellied pig and the registration number assigned to it.
-
D. Tag Worn By Animal: The police department shall furnish the registrant, at the time of registration, with a tag which will be securely and visibly attached to the dog, cat or potbellied pig, and which shall indicate the calendar year for which the license has been issued. Tags for ferrets should be kept in a secure, readily available location associated with the ferret.

Adoption Fee
They range from $80-115 and the fee isn't for the adoption itself. It covers the spay or neuter and for the shots to be up to date. The fee for cats is $70-80 (if you choose to use The Cat Clinic it's $30-$50) and for dogs (depending on the size and gender) it is $75-115. Then when you take the animal to the vet, you aren't charged for those services. If an animal is already fixed you'll pay $20 for the rabies vaccine.
-
Also, you MUST get the animal fixed within 6 months. This is very important. We suggest you take the animal immediately after adopting them to have them check out by the vet and schedule their spay/neuter. It is law that you get your animal fixed. If you were here for the countless animals that are put down, you'd get a good idea of why this law is in place. There is no need for more puppies or kittens to be born, when there are so many that are homeless.
