The impounding agency is authorized to refuse to release any dog and/or cat to its owner unless satisfied that the animal is licensed and that the owner has taken steps to assure that the dog and/or cat will not again roam or run at large in the manner described in LMC 6.06.070. In exercising the authority granted by LMC 6.06.070 through 6.06.100, the agency may impose reasonable conditions which must be satisfied by an owner as conditions precedent to the release of any dog and/or cat, including conditions assuring that dogs and/or cats will be confined and that female dogs and/or cats which have run at large while in heat will be spayed.
