Connecticut Liens for Service to Horses and Care of Horses
NOTE: Connecticut has no lien statutes specifically applicable
to veterinarians, farriers or breeders. However, it does have
a statute creating a possessory lien for animals that would
apply to secure payment for boarding charges when the animal
has been placed in the possession of a veterinarian, farrier
or breeder.
CONNECTICUT STATUTES
TITLE 49. MORTGAGES AND LIENS
CHAPTER 847. LIENS
§ 49-70. Lien on animals for their keep. Transfer of
abandoned animals
(a) When a special agreement has been made between the owner
of any animals, including birds and fish, and any person
who keeps and feeds such animals, regarding the price of
such keeping, such animals shall be subject to a lien, for
the price of such keeping, in favor of the person keeping
the same; and such person so keeping such animals may detain
the same until such debt is paid; and, if it is not paid
within thirty days after it is due, he may sell such animals,
or so many thereof as are necessary, at public auction,
upon giving written notice to the owner of the time and
place of such sale at least six days before such sale, and
apply the proceeds to the payment of such debts, returning
the surplus, if any, to such owner.
(b) A commercial kennel, as defined in section 22-327, or
a veterinary hospital which boards or grooms animals for
nonmedical purposes, may transfer any abandoned animal in
its custody to a nonprofit animal rescue or adoption organization
which annually places ten or more animals in private homes
as pets. An animal shall be considered abandoned if the
owner or keeper of such animal fails to retrieve the animal
within five days of the date on which such owner or keeper
was scheduled to retrieve the animal. Prior to transferring
such animal, such kennel or veterinary hospital shall give
notice of its intention to do so to the owner or keeper
at his last-known address by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, and shall allow a period of ten
days to elapse after the receipt is returned before transferring
such animal. Each such commercial kennel and veterinary
hospital shall post in a visible location the procedures
provided for in this subsection and shall give a written
notice of such procedures to any person who boards an animal
at such kennel or with such veterinary hospital. Any nonprofit
organization which receives an animal in accordance with
the provisions of this subsection shall not be liable in
any civil action brought by the previous owner or keeper
of such animal for any subsequent transfer or disposal of
such animal by such organization.
