Any licensee or owner whose dog has been impounded may, at any time prior to the hearing
scheduled pursuant to section 6-153 or 6-155 of this Code, request an informal probable cause hearing by written request delivered
to the office of the director. The hearing officer shall conduct the hearing within
48 hours after receipt of the request, Saturdays, Sundays, city holidays and days
that city offices are closed excepted. The hearing shall be conducted informally,
and the hearing officer may consider city investigative reports, medical records,
and affidavits, as well as any testimony or documentary evidence offered by the licensee
or owner. If the hearing officer finds that probable cause does not exist to detain
the dog for a hearing under section 6-153 or 6-155 of this Code, he shall cause the impoundment order to be withdrawn. If the impoundment
order is withdrawn, the animal shall be released, provided that it may continue to
be held, if required, for the duration of any rabies quarantine period as provided
by this Code.
