               If the adopted animal dies before the expiration of the time allotted for the spay
               or neuter procedure to be performed, the owner of the adopted animal shall report
               the death to the releasing agency within 48 hours, at which time the owner will be
               requested to present the animal's body to the releasing agency in order to receive
               a death certificate. The death certificate shall permit a transfer certificate to
