§ 91.23 TAKING UP AND TREATING INJURED DOGS AND CATS.
   A community service officer or any peace officer may remove from any street or public place within the city any injured or ill dog or cat not being attended to and properly cared for by its owner or keeper and shall impound the dog or cat, or place the dog or cat in the possession of a licensed veterinarian and the dog or cat may be disposed of as provided in §§ 91.30 through 91.32. If a veterinarian renders needed or warranted veterinarian treatment to an injured or ill dog or cat placed in his or her possession pursuant to this section, the veterinarian shall advise the community service section of the cost of the treatment, and in the event the owner or keeper of the dog or cat redeems the dog or cat, the owner or keeper shall, in addition to paying impound redemption fees as otherwise set forth in this chapter, pay the full amount of the veterinarian's charges. If the dog or cat is not redeemed, it shall be disposed of in the manner provided in §§ 91.30 through 91.32.
