The police department shall make best efforts to notify the owners or keepers of animals impounded pursuant to this chapter, if known to them, of the fact of impoundment and the procedures for redemption of the impounded animal. Such notification shall be independent of any citation for ordinance violation but may be served together with a citation for ordinance violation. Notice shall be sufficient if substantially in the form attached to this chapter as Appendix A. Notice shall be given within 24 hours of impoundment, either by personal service, or if the owner is not at home when service is made, by taping the notice to the front door of the residence of the owner, if known.
