AN ORDINANCE ANIM
REGULATIONS, r ORDINANCES
OKLAHOMA, AMENDING SAME BY AMENDING SECTION 4-147 TO AMEND LA
GOVERNING THE SPAYING AND NEUTERING OF ANIMALS.
I'VE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OWASSO, OKLAHOMX7.
THAT, TO-WIT: I
SECTION ONE (1): Part Four, Animals, Chapter One, Animal Regulations, of the Code of
Ordinances of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma, shall be amended by revising section 4 -147 to read as
follows:
A. It shall be an offense under this section for any owner within the city limits of Owasso to
harbor, keep or possess a dog or cat over the age of six (6) months, other than a dog used by
the Owasso Police Department as a police dog, that has not been spayed or neutered unless
the dog or cat was licensed as required under section 4- 121(a) prior to July 1, 2006 and has
continually maintained such license. A rebuttable presumption that the dog or cat has not
been spayed or neutered is established in the event the owner of a dog or cat over the age of
six (6) months is unable to produce a current license, license tag or documentation of spay or
neuter. In such event, an animal control officer shall issue a citation to the owner requiring
that the dog or cat be spayed or neutered within thirty (30) days. Failure to do so will result
in issuance of additional citations.
B. Special Circumstances Exceptions: Any person owning a dog or cat that is registered with
AKC, UKC, or other national /international animal association, and who is able to produce
certification papers of the same, and who intends to use the animal for breeding and /or show
purposes, may apply for an exception to the mandatory spay /neuter law. Such application
will be approved or denied by the Chief of Police or his or her designee. If approved, the
applicant will be granted an exception upon payment of a fee to be set by the City Manager
and included within the Animal Control Division fee schedule. Breeders must be registered
with the Owasso Animal Shelter, and the granting of an exception under this section does not
exempt the animal owner from compliance with the allowable number of animals set forth in
section 4- 110(A).
C. All ordinances, or parts of ordinances, in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed to
the extent of the conflict only.
D. If any part or parts of this ordinance are deemed unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective, the
remaining portion shall not be affected but shall remain in full force and effect.
E. The provisions of this ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days from the date of final
passage as provided by state law.
F. The City of Owasso Code of Ordinances is hereby amended by amending section 4 -147,
codified in Part 4, Chapter 1 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Owasso.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma on the day of
