Any unspayed dog in the stage of estrus (heat) shall be confined in a house or secure enclosure or the unspayed dog must be physically restrained by a competent person by the use of a hand-held leash. Any unspayed dog that is in the state of estrus and is not properly confined or restrained shall be deemed a public nuisance. Such a public nuisance shall be abated pursuant to Section 7-1-60 of this Chapter; however, the abatement remedies shall be limited to confinement of the dog at a boarding kennel, a veterinary hospital or the animal shelter. The owner of the dog shall pay all expenses incurred as a result of confinement. (Prior code 6.12.035)
