■. <br />P. <br />Spay and Neuter and Microchip Requirements for Stray Recoveries; <br />Select Regulatory Review <br />Working Document <br />August 13, 2012 <br />Recently, orange County Animal Services Director, Bob Marotto, obtained information from other animal welfare professionals regarding <br />sterilization and micro- chipping ordinances in their own or other jurisdictions throughout the United States, as they relate to the recovery of <br />animals. Answers are summarized on the following two tables, one for sterilization and one for microchipping requirements: <br />Original Question: I was wondering whether any of you are familiar with any communities that have ordinances that require the spaying or <br />neutering of dogs and cats that have been impounded more thanone time. or if you even happen to have a favorite model for this kind of <br />regulation. It may be an altogether different legislative item, but I am also interested in exploring the requirement for a microchip for dogs and <br />cats that have been impounded as a requirement of recovery. It doesn't address reproduction per se but it does help with recovery and ensure <br />the kind of identification needed to ensure accountability as well. <br />Sterilization Re uirements u on reclaim throughout US <br />Location <br />Jurisdiction <br />Local or <br />Level of requirement <br />Alternative <br />Recovery <br />notes <br />state <br />options <br />fee offset <br />by s/n <br />Arizona <br />All of state <br />State <br />Required s/n for all adoption or recovery <br />None? <br />Needs <br />more <br />research <br />Northglenn, Co <br />City of <br />Local <br />I ? <br />N <br />W <br />
