The Animal Control Officer may capture and take into custody,

recommendation of a doctor, veterinarian, or the Macomb County Health
Department.
The Animal Control Officer is authorized to rescue any animal
on any property, public or private, in conjunction with the fulfillment
of the duties and responsibilities in this chapter. No person shall
refuse to permit Animal Control Officer, after proper identification,
to inspect any premises, nor shall any person interfere with or resist
the Animal Control Officer in the discharge of these duties and the
protection of the public health.
The Animal Control Officer may require that a person owning
any dog exhibit: the dog; the required vaccination certificate, or
the current license and license tag for the dog.

a valid license tag is in violation of this chapter and MCL § 287.290.
It is a violation of this chapter for a person upon whom a demand is made under § 126-9 to fail or refuse to exhibit the dog, its certificate of vaccination, its license or its license tag.
