A. While a dog or cat is competing in a sanctioned dog or cat show, it is not required to display its license tag while competing. Upon demand from an animal control officer or police officer, however, any person in possession of an animal competing in a sanctioned show must provide proof that the animal is licensed in accordance with this chapter.

B. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to dogs used by a law enforcement agency for police work, nor to dogs or cats in the custody of a veterinarian or animal shelter or animal rescuer, or whose owners are nonresidents temporarily within the city for a period not exceeding 30 calendar days. (Ord. 6424 § 3, 2012.)
