DIVISION 3. VACCINATION AND IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Sec. 5-51. Vaccination Requirements.
Every dog or cat over six months of age, kept as a pet shall be vaccinated against rabies.
Because of techniques and tolerances, species limitations, and public health implications, animal
rabies vaccines shall be administered only by or under the supervision of a veterinarian. Any animal
or a species for which no rabies vaccination is licensed for that species by the United States
Department of Agriculture shall be considered unvaccinated for rabies, regardless of that animal's
vaccination history.
However, no dog or cat need be vaccinated when a licensed veterinarian has examined the
animal and certified that, at such time, vaccination would endanger its health because of its age,
infirmity, debility, illness, or other medical consideration; and such exception certificate is
presented to the animal control officer within five days of such examination. The animal shall be
vaccinated against rabies as soon as its health and age permit. Unvaccinated animals must be
confined to the owner's property or a veterinary facility.
Sec. 5-52. Identification Requirements.
All dogs and cats are required to have some identification on them that would assist animal
control in contacting the owner. Identification allowed under this division includes microchips,
vetennarian-issued rabies tags, or any tags or collars with contact information and phone number(s)
inscribed on it.
SECTION 3. Section 5-74(a) of the Chanhassen City Code is amended to provide as follows:
(a) Any dog or cat may be redeemed from impoundment by the owner, within the time stated in
the notice of impounding, the impounding fees, and all other costs and charges incurred by
the city for impounding and maintenance of said animal.
SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect
immediately upon its passage and publication.
