CHAPTER 4. ANIMALS AND FOWL
ARTICLE III. IMPOUNDMENT
Sec. 4-300 Duties of animal control officers; seizure and impoundment of animals; notice and
hearing; disposition of animals.
A. Any animal control officer or law enforcement officer may lawfully seize and impound any
animal that has been abandoned, has been cruelly treated, or is suffering from an apparent violation of this
chapter that has rendered the animal in such a condition as to constitute a direct and immediate threat to its
life, safety or health.
B. Before seizing or impounding any agricultural animal, the law-enforcement officer or animal
control officer shall contact the state veterinarian or state veterinarian’s representative, who shall
recommend to the person the most appropriate action for effecting the seizure and impoundment. The
animal control officer shall notify the owner of the agricultural animal and the local attorney for the
Commonwealth of the recommendation. The animal control officer may impound the agricultural animal on
the land where the agricultural animal is located if:
1. The owner or tenant of the land where the agricultural animal is located gives written
permission;
2. A general district court so orders; or
3. The owner or tenant of the land where the agricultural animal is located cannot be
immediately located, and it is in the best interest of the agricultural animal to be impounded on the land
where it is located until the written permission of the owner or tenant of the land can be obtained.
If there is a direct and immediate threat to an agricultural animal, the animal control officer or law
enforcement officer may seize the animal, in which case the law-enforcement officer or animal control officer
shall file within five (5) business days on a form approved by the state veterinarian a report on the condition
of the animal at the time of the seizure, the location of impoundment, and any other information required by
the state veterinarian.
C. Upon seizing or impounding an animal, the animal control officer or law enforcement officer
shall petition the general district court in the county for a hearing. The hearing shall be not more than ten (10)
business days from the date of the seizure of the animal. The hearing shall be to determine whether the
animal has been abandoned, has been cruelly treated, or has not been provided adequate care.
D. The animal control officer shall cause to be served upon the person with a right of property
in the animal or the custodian of the animal notice of the hearing. If such person or the custodian is known
and residing within the jurisdiction wherein the animal is seized, written notice shall be given at least five (5)
days prior to the hearing of the time and place of the hearing. If such person or the custodian is known but
residing out of the jurisdiction where such animal is seized, written notice by any method or service of
process as is provided by the Code of Virginia shall be given. If such person or the custodian is not known,
the law-enforcement officer or animal control officer shall cause to be published in a newspaper of general
8
circulation in the county notice of the hearing at least one time prior to the hearing and shall further cause
notice of the hearing to be posted at least five (5) days prior to the hearing at the place provided for public
notices at the county courthouse wherein such hearing shall be held.
E. The procedure for appeal and trial shall be the same as provided by law for misdemeanors.
If requested by either party on appeal to the circuit court, trial by jury shall be as provided in Virginia Code §§
19.2-260 et seq.
F. The law-enforcement officer, or animal control officer shall provide for such animal until the
court has concluded the hearing. The county may require the owner of any animal held pursuant to this
section for more than thirty (30) days to post a bond in surety with the county for the amount of the cost of
boarding the animal for a period not to exceed nine (9) months.
If the court determines that the animal has been neither abandoned, cruelly treated, nor deprived of
adequate care, the animal shall be returned to the owner. If the court determines that the animal has been
abandoned, cruelly treated, or deprived of adequate care, then the court shall order that the animal may be:
(i) sold by the animal control officer if not a companion animal; (ii) disposed of by a local governing body
pursuant to subsection D of Virginia Code § 3.2-6546, whether such animal is a companion animal or an
agricultural animal; or (iii) delivered to the person with a right of property in the animal as provided in
subsection G.
G. In no case shall the owner be allowed to purchase, adopt, or otherwise obtain the animal if
the court determines that the animal has been abandoned, cruelly treated, or deprived of adequate care.
The court shall direct that the animal be delivered to the person with a right of property in the animal, upon
his request, if the court finds that the abandonment, cruel treatment, or deprivation of adequate care is not
attributable to the actions or inactions of such person.
H. The court shall order the owner of any animal determined to have been abandoned, cruelly
treated, or deprived of adequate care to pay all reasonable expenses incurred in caring and providing for
such animal from the time the animal is seized until such time that the animal is disposed of in accordance
with the provisions of this section.
I. The court may prohibit the possession or ownership of other companion animals by the
owner of any companion animal found to have been abandoned, cruelly treated, or deprived of adequate
care. In making a determination to prohibit the possession or ownership of the companion animals, the court
may take into consideration the owner’s past record of convictions under this chapter or other laws
prohibiting cruelty to animals or pertaining to the care or treatment of animals and the owner’s mental and
physical condition.
J. If the court finds that an agricultural animal has been abandoned or cruelly treated, the court
may prohibit the possession or ownership of any other agricultural animal by the owner of the agricultural
animal if the owner has exhibited a pattern of abandoning or cruelly treating agricultural animals as
evidenced by previous convictions of violating section 4-107 or section 4-108. In making a determination to
prohibit the possession or ownership of agricultural animals, the court may take into consideration the
owner’s mental and physical condition.
K. Any person who is prohibited from owning or possessing animals pursuant to subsection I or
J may petition the court to repeal the prohibition after two (2) years have elapsed from the date of entry of
the court’s order. The court may, in its discretion, repeal the prohibition if the person can prove to the
satisfaction of the court that the cause for the prohibition has ceased to exist.
L. In case of sale of an animal under this section, the proceeds shall first be applied to the
costs of the sale, then next to the unreimbursed expenses for the care and provision of the animal, and the
remaining proceeds, if any, shall be paid over to the owner of the animal. If the owner of the animal cannot
be found, the proceeds remaining shall be paid into the Literary Fund of the state treasury.
M. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the humane destruction of a critically
injured or ill animal for humane purposes by the impounding animal control officer or licensed veterinarian.

FUNDING PRIORITIES
2. Board of Supervisors to endorse the following goals as highest priority for funding and that
applications successfully addressing these goals be given additional weight:
Community residents are physically and mentally healthy.
Community residents are safe and have basic needs met.
Children in the community develop appropriately and succeed academically.
Additional goals were identified as important and should be considered for funding:
The community provides a vibrant economic climate.
The community manages natural resources to sustain current and future generations.
The community uses arts, culture and recreation.
The community is inclusive and engaged.
3. The Steering Committee has identified indicators that reflect accomplishment of the goals and
recommends that programs be evaluated, in part, on their ability to promote attainment of the goals.
4. Funding to be prioritized on successfully addressing the goals outlined in Recommendation 2
above, using the following criteria:
a. Demonstration of need and programming that effectively addresses need.
b. Evaluation of program outcomes showing program effectiveness.
c. Demonstration of financial benefit to the localities and/or program participants.
d. Outreach to and engagement of underserved populations.
5. The funding process be modified as follows:NOTE: The Steering Committee recommended the
use of “non-contractual” rather than “discretionary” to define agency funding that is not mandatory or
required by contract. Beginning with FY12 funding, all funded agencies will enter into a
contract/agreement for both City and County funding. A list of agencies proposed for the ABRT
process can be found in Appendix 10 of the Report.
a. Non-contractual funding for non-profit programs should be consolidated into one process
with review by the ABRT or a subcommittee.
b. Arts and Cultural Programs and Festivals should be included in the ABRT process, and
reviewed by a subcommittee with relevant expertise.
c. All programs being considered for non-contractual funding should complete the same
application and be considered under the same criteria.
d. Contractual or statutory funding should continue to be managed by the Offices of
Management and Budget.
6. The Steering Committee recommends that:
a. Applications are considered on their merits on an annual basis, using an objective scoring
system that rates them as Poor, Fair, Solid, or Exemplary. Programs rated Poor should be
defunded. Programs rated Fair should receive at least a 25% cut in funding and be required
to submit quarterly progress reports, with a second rating of Fair resulting in defunding.
b. ABRT make funding recommendations for programs rated Solid and Exemplary based on
community need, effectiveness and program characteristics with existing programs rated
Solid or Exemplary receiving not more than a 10% cut in funding or a 20% increase in
funding per year.
c. Funding for previously unfunded programs that demonstrate that they meet community
needs effectively be considered for funding if they receive a rating of “Solid” or better on
their application.
