The owner or custodian of each dog and domesticated cat 4 months of age and older
shall have it currently vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian or licensed
veterinary technician who is under the immediate and direct supervision of a licensed
veterinarian on the premises. The supervising veterinarian on the premises shall provide
the owner or custodian of the dog or domesticated cat with a certificate of vaccination.
The owner or custodian of the dog or domesticated cat shall promptly furnish, upon
the request of an animal control officer, humane investigator, law-enforcement officer,
State Veterinarian's representative, or Director of Health, the certificate of vaccination
for such dog or cat. The vaccine used shall be licensed by the United States Department
of Agriculture for use in that species. Any dog that has not been vaccinated as required
by this Section shall be impounded, except that if the rightful owner of the dog can
be immediately ascertained and located, then that owner shall be allowed to have custody
of the animal, but shall be subject to issuance of a summons for violation of this
Section. (26-04-41.1.)
