If such dog is wearing a valid dog license tag or the identity of the owner or custodian is otherwise established, the Police Department shall immediately give notice to the licensee, owner or custodian that the dog has been impounded. Such notice may be by telephone or by ordinary mail to the last known address of such licensee, owner or custodian.
