§ 12-3-202. TEMPORARY PLACEMENT OF ANIMAL.

(a)

Temporary placement. If the needs of the animal held under this article cannot be provided for by the Animal Services Division or the Division determines that it would benefit the animal's health or welfare to do so, the animal may be temporarily:

(1)

Held at a humane organization;

(2)

Placed with a foster custodian; or

(3)

Housed at another location deemed appropriate by the Health Officer.

(b)

Disclosure of temporary placement. Whenever an animal is being temporarily held at a location other than the Animal Services Division as provided in this section, the Division may keep the location confidential if the Division reasonably believes that disclosure of the location could result in harm to either the animal or the temporary custodian.
