Rifle city judges have more options now when it comes to what to do with the pets of owners who are repeat offenders for animal-related offenses.
Rifle City Council on April 7 voted to amend its ordinance to now also allow judges to put up an animal taken into custody for adoption following five days of it going unclaimed.
The council passed the amendment unanimously without discussion.
Previously, euthanasia was the only option available under municipal ordinance.
“We don’t want the dog to be killed because of an irresponsible person,” Rifle Police Chief Tommy Klein said. “This ordinance will give the option to turn the dog over to the shelter for adoption.”

The P.E.I. Home and School Federation wants more full-time principals in Island schools.
Currently, if a school has less than 200 students, it is not allotted a full-time principal.
Instead, the people in those roles have to split their time between the administrative duties and other jobs this means a principal will also end up teaching class.
The resolution was adopted by the Home and School Federation at its meeting in September. The federation says the change would impact about 19 English-language schools on the Island.
