No person shall abandon any animal, as defined in § 90.01. In the event that an animal is found so abandoned, such animal may be taken by a Glasgow-Barren County Animal Control Officer or peace officer and impounded in a shelter, and there confined in a humane manner. Such animal, if taken from private property, shall be kept for not less than the prescribed period in accordance with the procedures set forth in the impoundment section of this chapter. In the event that an animal is so abandoned, the owner or keeper, if any, whom the officer has charged with the animal's care, shall be subject to a citation for abandonment.
