If a license is required by the provisions of this chapter, and if the failure to obtain a license substantially contributes to the inability of the Animal Control Officer to promptly ascertain the identity of the owner of an animal, and if in the judgement of the Animal Control Officer circumstances require that an animal be humanely destroyed or adopted out, then the Animal Control Officer, the County, its agents and employees, and all others acting in good faith on behalf of the county, are immune from any liability in any suit or action by an owner or others for administering euthanasia or adopting out the animal without prior notice.
