35.11.020 Failure of owner to confine dog or other animal.

If the owner fails to confine such dog or other animal, or if the owner is not known, the Public Health Service Sanitarian, the police, or other tribally designated person shall transport the dog or other animal to a veterinary hospital or other location as designated by the Service Unit Director or TMBCI Animal Control Officer, and either be placed under observation or euthanized, dependent on the Public Health Service Sanitarian's recommendation. If euthanized, the body of the dog or other animal will be transported to the NDSU Veterinary Diagnostics Lab for pathological examination. The owner shall in such cases be required to reimburse the special Tribal "Rabies Control Program" account for necessary expenses connected with the transport, euthanasia, testing, and/or confinement. Confinement expenses for stray dogs or other animal shall be paid out of the same special Tribal account.
