(A) It shall be the duty of designated city personnel to capture, secure and remove in a humane manner any dog requiring impoundment for violating any of the provisions of this chapter. Notice of impoundment of any animal, including any significant marks or identifications, shall be posted at City Hall within 24 hours after impoundment as public notification of such impoundment.
(B) Any dog may be reclaimed by its owner during the period of impoundment by payment of fees charged by the designated impound facility and any other fees set by resolution of the City Council. The owner shall then be required to comply with the licensing and rabies vaccination requirements within 72 hours after release. If any dog is not claimed at the end of three days after public notice has been given, the city shall acquire legal title to such unlicensed dog impounded for a period longer than three days after giving notice. If the city disposes of any dog, such disposition shall be accomplished by a duly licensed doctor of veterinary medicine at the expense of the city.
