§ 4-14. Return of animal.

(a)

If an animal is in the custody of the ASO, an inspection of the premises where the animal is to be kept may be made prior to the animal's return if such is necessary to determine if the remedial requirements have been met. The ASO may retain the animal until the remedial requirements have been met. The ASO shall have the right to inspect such premises in the future at reasonable times to ensure continued compliance with the remedial requirements.

(b)

As a condition of returning an animal which has been in the custody of the ASO to its owner, the court or the ASO may require that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by the ASO to keep such animal be paid by the owner.
