They will select adoptable animals from the general population at the <br />shelter and will prepare the animals for viewing (bath, groom, etc.). Once <br />selected and prepared these animals will be moved to the areas designated <br />for adoptable animals. This will restrict the general public from entering <br />into the areas of the shelter which will be used for quarantine of animals. <br />Once one of the animals is'selected for adoption, the Humane Society will <br />have a veterinarian come to the shelter and examine the animal, give <br />necessary shots, etc. and the animal will be placed in the adoption section <br />of the Shelter. When a citizen chooses an animal to adopt the citizen will <br />be required to pay a fee of $65.00 for a dog and $35.00 for a cat. This fee <br />will be paid to Cabarrus County for that animal. <br />At the time the new owner receives their animal the Humane Society <br />representative will have the new owner execute appropriate paper work that <br />will document who adopted the animal and release the Humane Society and <br />Cabarrus County from any liability concerning the animal adopted. The Humane <br />Society representative or coordinator will present to the Animal Control <br />Division supervisor a signed assumption of ownership and release from <br />liability form along with a request for payment to the Humane Society in the <br />amount of $65.00 for each dog and $35.00 for each cat. This request for <br />payment will then be processed through the county finance department. <br />If the Humane Society selects an adoptable animal and prepares it for <br />adoption and it is not adopted within the allotted time period the Humane <br />Society will be allowed to adopt the animal without payment of fees. <br />Animal Control will hold the animals for up to 7 days or through one weekend <br />to allow the Humane Society the opportunity to select and attempt to adopt <br />out the animals that come into the department's custody. The Humane Society <br />understasds that if the animals they choose for adoption are not adopted <br />they will not be able to hold any rm~re animals than the space allocated for <br />that purpose will adequately accommodate. <br /> <br /> Ordinance No. 1998-01 <br /> <br /> AMENDMENT TO CABARRU$ COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES <br /> CHAPTER 10 <br /> ANIMALS <br /> <br />HE IT ORDAINED that Section 10-3 and Section 10-58 of the Code of <br />Ordinances, Cabarrus County, North Carolina are hereby amended to read <br />as follows: <br /> <br />Section 10-3.
