               Unless proof of a current rabies vaccination can be furnished, said animal shall be
               vaccinated prior to redemption or adoption. If the animal in question is too young
               for vaccination, a proof of rabies vaccination card shall be issued at the time of
               the redemption or adoption. This card will be stamped with a date stating the maximum
               time limit allowed to take the dog or cat to the veterinarian of such person's choice
               for rabies vaccination. The time-limit for dogs and cats four months and older will
               be 72 hours, with Sundays and holidays excluded. For puppies and kittens under four
               months, the time limit will vary according to their age.

               The "proof of rabies vaccination card" will be completed and returned to the animal
               shelter by the veterinarian. If this card is not returned to the animal shelter within
               the time limit specified on the card, an animal control officer will be dispatched
               to retrieve the dog or cat.
