If the name of the owner or custodian of an animal found at large is known or can be obtained with reasonable dispatch, the animal control officer shall return the animal to the residential address of the owner. If there is no one present, the officer shall leave written notice of whom the owner must contact to reclaim the animal. The officer shall then remove the animal to the nearest animal hospital or shelter that will accept the animal.
