adoption fees. They must also pay licensing fees. If no one
claims the animal during or after impoundment duration, the
Animal Control Officer may deal with the animal according to
Town code provisions.

deposit of $50.00 for a female and $35.00 for male, which will
be refunded within thirty (30) days of adoption once written
proof signed by licensed Veterinarian is presented at the Police
Station stating spaying or neutering has been performed on the
