During the period of possession, any person shall pay fees for impound and having a current rabies certificate may redeem and obtain possession of a dog or cat that was untagged or tagged and thereby impounded. If the owner of any impounded dog or cat, under the provisions of this chapter, shall fail to redeem such dog or cat within three consecutive days, not counting Sunday and holidays, after such impounding, said dog or cat shall be disposed of by humane euthanization. The Animal Control Officer may euthanize by a humane manner any sick or injured animal which has been impounded without holding it for three days if its condition is such that euthanization is the most humane manner to dispose of the animal.
