No person or organization shall sell, display, offer for sale, barter, or give away any animal as a prize. Transfers of ownership/guardianship of animals by sale or gift are prohibited except when undertaken by a person licensed to operate a commercial kennel, hobby kennel, or pet shop, or as part of an agricultural operation, commercial hatchery, or store regularly engaged in the selling of livestock, or unless such person is the owner of such animal and such sale, display, offer for sale, barter, or gift occurs on the owner’s premises or on the premises where the animal is boarded or kept.

This section shall not be construed to prohibit the adoption or display of animals for adoption from an animal shelter or other animal welfare organization nor the sale or gift of a pet, or its offspring, by its owner/guardian, or by the family or individual owning the same as a family pet, which transfer occurs upon the property of such person.
