Bill Summary
Authorizes veterinarians to transfer ownership of animals rather than euthanizing them, under certain circumstances.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes veterinarians to transfer ownership of animals to a suitable home or animal shelter, rather than euthanizing them, under certain circumstances. The bill applies if the animal is physically healthy but its behavior does not pose a permanent threat to public safety, and the veterinarian determines the animal can be rehabilitated. The transfer of custody to the veterinarian for euthanasia and subsequent placement in a home or shelter constitutes a permanent transfer of ownership, and the original owner forfeits all rights to the animal.
