Any animal so found may be seized by the designated animal control officer, an agent of the County Humane Society or member of the Township Police Department.
(B) Animals running at large which have been seized shall in the case of dogs and cats be turned over to the Humane Society animal shelter and disposed of according to law. In the case of other animals, the Police Chief is authorized to make arrangements for the care and custody of animals until they can be returned to their proper owner or destroyed. Any animal seized and held pursuant to this section shall not be destroyed for a period of ten days during which time the owner may redeem the animal upon payment of regular poundage or care fees.
