Dogs and cats not redeemed may be sold by the Director to the person offering to pay the highest cash amount thereof, provided that the purchaser shall not be given possession of any such dog or cat until he shall have paid to the Director the charges prescribed for such dog or cat. If any dog or cat impounded by the Director shall not have been redeemed within such periods, and cannot be sold within a reasonable time thereafter, it may be summarily disposed of by the Director in some humane way. The Director shall file at the animal shelter a full description of each dog and cat impounded therein, for said period beginning on the day any such dog and cat is taken or delivered into the possession of the Director.
