Summary

The Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act prohibits any animal
shelter or pet animal rescue (facility) from releasing a dog or cat to a
prospective owner unless the animal has been sterilized, except in cases
in which sterilization would jeopardize the life or health of the dog or cat.
A facility in an area with limited access to licensed veterinarians may be
granted an exemption from the sterilization requirement by the
commissioner of agriculture (commissioner). The bill:
  • Removes the exemption from the sterilization requirement
due to the health of the animal; and
  • Prohibits facilities that import unsterilized dogs or cats into
the state of Colorado from receiving an exemption from the
commissioner.
