(A) The agent of the city shall take into custody any dog found at large in the city in violation of § 90.20 or any dog not bearing a license securely attached to the collar, as previously provided for in § 90.20, and shall impound said animal; such impounded dog shall be held for a period of ten days. At that end of such time, the dog shall be destroyed unless custody of said dog is released prior thereto under the following conditions.
(B) During the first six days of impoundment, the agent of the city shall make diligent effort to determine the owner of such dog and notify them of such impoundment. If the owner of such dog refuses to claim and repossess such dog, by the payment of the proper fee as prescribed herein, within the first six days of such impoundment, or the owner of such dog cannot be located, the agent of the city may deliver custody and possession of such dog to any person other than said owner of impounded dog, upon payment of fee as prescribed in § 90.37 between the sixth day of said impoundment and the tenth day of impoundment.
