(A) For every dog taken up and impounded as provided in this chapter for which no license fee has been paid, the owner or keeper of such dog shall pay to the village a fee as set forth in section 6-2-2 of this chapter to procure a license. The owner or keeper shall also pay any fines imposed resulting from such impoundment and also pay the total amount of fees generated by the impounding animal hospital.
(B) If such amounts are paid by any person desiring to redeem such dog within three (3) days after the impounding thereof, such person(s) shall be entitled to redeem such dog. If such dog is not redeemed within three (3) days after being impounded, such dog shall be destroyed by order of the chief of police or upon recommendation of a licensed veterinarian; provided, the chief of police may, in his/her discretion, release any such dog, without the payment of village incurred fines and/or license procurement. When, in the opinion of the health officer of the village, there exists the danger of an epidemic of rabies, such dog shall be impounded for a period of only twenty four (24) hours before destroyed at the direction of the chief of police or licensed veterinarian.
