Title:
Ordinance amending the Health Code to require that every dog in San Francisco, with certain
exceptions, be spayed, neutered, or chemically sterilized, rather than requiring such procedures only
for pit bulls; to establish a process and fee for applying for an unaltered dog permit, and a process for
granting, denying, or revoking such permit, with a hearing following a denial or revocation; to regulate
the transfer, sale, and breeding of unaltered dogs; and to establish penalties and conditions of
impoundment for violations of the mandatory spay, neuter, or chemical sterilization requirements.
