(A) It shall be the duty of the Chief of Police or other designated village employee to capture and impound in a pound each and every dog found at large, without a collar, tag or muzzle, as is in this subchapter provided. The Chief of Police or designee shall thereupon notify such owner of said dog so taken if the name of the owner is ascertained, and said owner shall be permitted to redeem said dog within seven days by paying all license and other fees then upon said animal, together with the sum of $5 per day for the cost of keeping such animal and the cost of advertising, if any. Should no redemption be made of any animal thus impounded, the pound keeper is authorized to euthanize all animals so unredeemed at the end of the seventh day.
(B) It shall be lawful for the Chief of Police or other designated village employee to kill any vicious dog at large within the limits of the village, which cannot safely be taken up and impounded.
