(A) All animals apprehended and impounded under the provisions of this chapter shall be held up to 72 hours from the posting of notice of impound. If, at the end of that period, such animal has not been redeemed, it may be given up for adoption.
(B) Any animal which appears to be suffering from rabies, infected with mange, or infected by any other infectious or dangerous disease may not be released, except to a licensed veterinarian, or who is otherwise unclaimed may be destroyed.
(C) Any fees incurred for impoundment and/or medical attention are the responsibility of the owner of the dog. If that owner is not known, it will be the responsibility of the new adoptive owners.
