The owner of any dog impounded under this chapter may redeem said dog within forty eight (48) hours from time of impounding by paying to the animal control agency the appropriate redemption fee and providing proof of such animal's current pet license at the time of redemption. The first time a dog is impounded within a one year period, the redemption fee is twenty five dollars ($25.00); for the second impound within a one year period the redemption fee is fifty dollars ($50.00); for the third and subsequent impounds within a one year period the redemption fee is seventy five dollars ($75.00). If a dog is wearing a current pet license at the time of the first impound, no redemption fee will be collected. In addition to the redemption fee, the redeemer shall pay all charges associated with the care and keeping of such dog, including the first and last days the dog is retained by the impounding authority. This boarding charge will be collected for the first time impound whether the animal is wearing a pet license or not. If an impounded dog is not redeemed by the owner within forty eight (48) hours, then any person may redeem it within the next forty eight (48) hours by complying with the above provision. In case such dog is not redeemed within ninety six (96) hours, it may be humanely destroyed or otherwise disposed of within the discretion of the animal control agency. (Ord. 2016-986, 8-17-2016)
