It shall be the duty of the Enforcement Officer to impound all animals found at large, or not under the charge, care or control of some person in the street, alleys or other public places, or on vacant or unenclosed lots in the city. The Enforcement Officer shall have the right to enter upon private property when it becomes necessary to do so in order to apprehend any animal that has been roaming at large. Entrance upon private property shall be in reasonable pursuit of the animal(s), and shall not include entry into a domicile unless it is at the invitation of the occupant or by way of search warrant, or exigent circumstances exist justifying a warrantless entry.
