§ 17-810 Euthanizing animals; time frame for making such determination.

In determining when a full-service shelter may euthanize a lost, stray or homeless animal held by it, such shelter shall exclude from the calculation of the number of hours that such shelter is required by law to hold such animal before euthanizing such animal those hours when such shelter is not required to accept dogs and cats pursuant to paragraph one of subdivision d of section 17-802 of this chapter. Such calculation of the number of hours shall not take into consideration the full-service shelter required to accept dogs and cats twenty-four hours per day pursuant to subdivision a of section 17-803 of this chapter. Editor's note: For related unconsolidated provisions, see Appendix A at L.L. 2002/012 and L.L. 2011/059.
