Animal and Livestock Assets
Occasionally, a City business area may have the need to find a new home for its livestock and animal assets.
Livestock and animal assets are to be dispositioned in a way that allows the asset to live out their natural life with appropriate care.
The City will consult with local organizations including WELCA and ACC to determine the most suitable location/owner going forward. The City business area owning the animal or livestock has the final decision as to whether it will be sold or donated and to whom.
A health assessment by a professional veterinarian will be conducted prior to the disposition and all known medical conditions and medication needs to be documented and provided to the new owner.
The City will also check with the ASPCA and ACC to determine whether the intended recipient has any publicly available formal complaints, investigations, charges, and/or grievances. The City’s law branch will provide guidance as required for the disposition of all livestock and animals. The new owner will be required to enter into a formal agreement for the transfer of ownership which has been vetted by the Law branch.
