Immediately upon receiving any dog or other animal at the pound, the dog catcher shall enter in a registry kept for the purpose, the breed, color, sex of the dog, and whether licensed or not. If licensed, the dog catcher shall enter the name and address of the owner and keeper, and he or she shall keep licensed dogs separated from unlicensed dogs. When any dog known to be licensed shall be impounded, notice of the impounding shall be forthwith given to the owner or keeper of the licensed dog by mail by the dog catcher.
