Article II. Dogs, Cats and Other Animals.
Sec. 5-21. Definitions.
For the purposes of this article, the following words and phrases shall have the
meanings ascribed to them by this section, unless otherwise indicated to the contrary:
Adequate care or care: The responsible practice of good animal husbandry,
handling, production, management, confinement, feeding, watering, protection, shelter,
transportation, treatment, and, when necessary, euthanasia, appropriate for the age,
species, condition, size and type of the animal and the provision of veterinary care when
needed to prevent suffering or impairment of health.
Adequate exercise or exercise: The opportunity for the animal to move
sufficiently to maintain normal muscle tone and mass for the age, species, size, and
condition of the animal.
Adequate feed: Access to and the provision of food that is of sufficient quantity
and nutritive value to maintain each animal in good health; is accessible to each animal;
is prepared so as to permit ease of consumption for the age, species, condition, size
and type of each animal; is provided in a clean and sanitary manner; is placed so as to
minimize contamination by excrement and pests; and is provided at suitable intervals for
the species, age, and condition of the animal, but at least once daily, except as
prescribed by a veterinarian or as dictated by naturally occurring states of hibernation or
fasting normal for the species.
Adequate shelter. Provision of and access to shelter that is suitable for the
species, age, condition, size, and type of each animal; provides adequate space for
each animal; is safe and protects each animal from injury, rain, sleet, snow, hail, direct
sunlight, the adverse effects of heat or cold, physical suffering, and impairment of
health; is properly lighted; is properly cleaned; enables each animal to be clean and dry,
except when detrimental to the species; and, for dogs and cats, provides a solid
surface, resting platform, pad, floormat, or similar device that is large enough for the
animal to lie on in a normal manner and can be maintained in a sanitary manner. Under
this chapter, shelters whose wire, grid, or slat floors:
(1) Permit the animals' feet to pass through the openings;
(2) Sag under the animals' weight; or
Page 2of8
(3) Otherwise do not protect the animals' feet or toes from injury are not
adequate shelter.
Adequate space: Sufficient space to allow each animal to:
(1) Easily stand, sit, lie, turn - about, and make all other normal body
movements in a comfortable, normal position for the animal; and
(2) Interact safely with other animals in the enclosure.
When an animal is tethered, "adequate space" means a tether that permits the above
actions and is appropriate to the age and size of the animal; is attached to the animal by
a properly applied collar, halter, or harness configured so as to protect the animal from
injury and prevent the animal or tether from becoming entangled with other objects or
animals, or from extending over an object or edge that could result in the strangulation
or injury of the animal; and is at least three (3) times the length of the animal, as
measured from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail, except when the animal is being
walked on a leash or is attached by a tether to a lead line. When freedom of movement
would endanger the animal, temporarily and appropriately restricting movement of the
animal according to professionally accepted standards for the species is considered
provision of adequate space.
Adequate water. Provision of and access to clean, fresh, potable water of a
drinkable temperature that is provided in a suitable manner, in sufficient volume, and at
suitable intervals, but at least once every twelve (12) hours, to maintain normal
hydration for the age, species, condition, size and type of each animal, except as
prescribed by a veterinarian or as dictated by naturally occurring states of hibernation or
fasting normal for the species; and is provided in clean, durable receptacles that are
accessible to each animal and are placed so as to minimize contamination of the water
by excrement and pests or an alternative source of hydration consistent with generally
accepted husbandry practices.

domestic animal unreasonably annoys humans, endangers the life or health of other
animals or persons or substantially interferes with the rights of citizens, other than their
