(A) The dog warden shall, without fail, keep a careful record of all dogs seized or received by him or her, describing each dog carefully and the disposition of such dog (such report shall be delivered to the Clerk of the Town Council on or before the Friday preceding the second Monday of each month), and shall report daily to the Town Clerk-Treasurer as to the number and type of dogs picked up.
(B) (1) If any owner shall have lost his or her dog and shall make inquiry of the dog warden concerning the whereabouts of such dog, and at the time of inquiry such dog has not been seized or impounded, the owner shall give to the dog warden, and the latter shall make a written record of, a full and complete description of such dog.
(2) If, at any time within 30 days after making of such inquiry and giving of such description, such dog should be seized and impounded by the dog warden, he or she shall promptly notify the owner who gave the description of such dog, such notice to be given in the same manner as the notice provided for in § 90.18. The owner of such dog may thereupon redeem and obtain the release of the dog in the same manner, and by complying with all of the provisions and paying any fees that have been necessitated for housing by the Humane Society because of the dog warden’s inability to contact the owner to pick up the dog immediately.
(C) However, if such dog is not seized or impounded by the dog warden within 30 days after the making of such inquiry and giving of such description by the owner, the dog warden shall not be required to give the notice as herein provided, unless the owner shall renew his or her inquiry before the expiration of each successive 30 day period occurring after s/he has initially made inquiry and given the description as hereinbefore provided.
