(a) A police officer or animal warden may impound every animal or dog found in violation of Section 505.01. If the dog is not wearing a valid registration tag and the owner is not otherwise reasonably determined, notice shall be posted in the pound or animal shelter describing the dog, stating the place where the dog was seized, and advising the unknown owner that unless the dog is redeemed within three days, it may thereafter be sold or destroyed according to law. If the dog is wearing a valid registration tag or the identity of the owner, keeper or harborer is otherwise reasonably determined, notice shall be given by certified mail to such owner, keeper or harborer that the dog has been impounded and, unless redeemed within fourteen days of the date of notice, it may thereafter be sold or destroyed according to law. The owner, keeper or harborer of any dog seized and impounded by the Village is liable to the Village for the expense the Village incurs in impounding, feeding, and harboring the dog, whether or not the dog’s owner, keeper or harborer desires to redeem the dog. Any dog seized and impounded may be redeemed by its owner, keeper or harborer at any time prior to the applicable redemption period upon payment to the Village of the costs assessed against the dog and upon providing the dog with a valid registration tag if it has none. (Ord. 1994-10-49. Passed 10-19-94.)
(b) A record of all dogs impounded, the disposition of the same, the owner's name and address where known, and a statement of any costs assessed against the dog shall be kept by any poundkeeper.
