Any owner may offer to the Animal Control Officer a dog or cat to be disposed of or destroyed in a humane manner by such officer in the officer’s discretion. The Animal Control Officer is hereby authorized but not required to receive such dog or cat for such disposition or destruction, provided that such owner must remit to the Animal Control Officer the fee for such disposition as set forth in the schedule of taxes adopted annually by the City Council. Upon such offer, receipt and payment, the owner shall execute a release upon a form to be provided by the Animal Control Officer, which release shall contain, along with such other matters and things as may be included by the Animal Control Officer, a statement as to the intended disposition or destruction of such dog or cat, which statement shall be acknowledged by the owner.
