(B) Any dog so impounded, may be redeemed by the owner upon payment of all costs associated with the impoundment.
(C) If the owner of such dog is known to the dog warden as such or if such dog has attached to its collar any identification showing the name of the owner, such owner shall be notified as soon as possible of the impounding thereof; provided, that it shall not be necessary for the dog warden to make any inquiry to ascertain such ownership.
