(a) In lieu of an animal being impounded, the Animal Warden may direct that the animal be confined, at the owner's or custodian's expense, either in an approved veterinary facility, at the owner's or custodian's residence or outside the City. In such case, the owner or custodian shall not remove the animal from the veterinary facility or residence or bring the animal into the City without the prior written approval of the Animal Warden, but shall make the animal available for observation and inspection by a police officer or the Animal Warden.
(b) The Animal Warden may have such impounded or confined animal permanently identified by photograph or other form of identification.
