A releasing agency that does not receive a letter under Section 828.005 (Confirmation of Sterilization), 828.006 (Letter Concerning Animal’s Death), or 828.007 (Letter Concerning Lost or Stolen Animal) before the expiration of the seventh day after the sterilization completion date agreed to under Section 828.002 (Requirements for Adoption) shall cause a complaint to be filed against the new owner. It is a presumption under this law that the failure of the new owner to deliver to the releasing agency a signed letter as required under Section 828.005 (Confirmation of Sterilization), 828.006 (Letter Concerning Animal’s Death), or 828.007 (Letter Concerning Lost or Stolen Animal) is the result of the new owner’s refusal to have the adopted animal sterilized. The new owner may rebut this presumption at the time of the hearing with the proof required under the above-mentioned sections.
