·        Second pickup - $47.25

·        Third pickup - $68.25

·        Subsequent pickups (per calendar year) - $105

·        Food and lodging - $10.50 per day

The fee schedule for an animal that is not registered, tagged or vaccinated is as follows:

·        Second pickup - $141.75

·        Third pickup - $204.75

·        Subsequent pickups - $315
