The owner who maintains a premises at which more than four neutered or spayed dogs or cats, in any combination, are kept, requires an annual multiple animal permit. Deposit fees are refunded upon return of the trap. The trap you rent is a humane animal trap. The purpose of the trap rental rental program is to assist you in trapping stray animals that are nuisances. These strays must be impounded at Animal Services Division as soon as possible.
Confined animals undergo a great deal of stress as a result of being captured.
Shade should be present. If not, place the trapped animal in a shady area until Animal Services personnel arrive unless you are going to immediately take the trapped animal to the Animal Services Division yourself. Depending on the type of animal being trapped, you should familiarize yourself with their dietary needs. For your safety, only trained Animal Services personnel should remove or handle an animal. To ensure safe impoundment of an animal, the trap and animal will be taken to the Animal Services Division and the trap returned to you later in the day.
