(B) No animal so taken shall be killed until after five days after public notice have elapsed after its impounding or until such office, after consulting the registration records, concludes that the animal has not been immunized or that immunization has become ineffective by lapse of time and until such officer has notified the person owning, keeping or harboring such animal, if his or her identity is known to him or her, to have the animal immunized forthwith.
