After seizing any animal found to be in violation of any provisions of Section 505.01 , the animal may be impounded for a period of not exceeding three days. During such time the owner or keeper thereof may secure the release of the animal upon proof that such owner or keeper has duly registered the animal if required by law, and upon payment to such agent of the City as the Director of Public Safety may direct, such fee as established by ordinance of Council.
The fees shall be charged and collected in addition to any fees imposed by Lucas County or other governmental authorities and in addition to any penalties which may be imposed. If the animal is not so redeemed within the three-day period, the City shall deliver the animal to the County Dog Warden or shall make such other disposition as is deemed appropriate.
