A. Unlicensed Dogs. For every dog taken up and impounded for which no license fee has been paid, there shall be paid to the Village by any person claiming to own or to act for the owner of such dog the total of the following fees: the sum of the fee, as set from time to time by resolution of the Village Council, for the taking up or impounding of such dog, plus the annual license fee provided in this chapter and the cost of keeping such dog while impounded.
Any unlicensed dog which shall have been impounded may be redeemed after three days of such impoundment by any person on payment of the fees and the costs set forth in this section. If any such dog is not redeemed within six days after being impounded, such dog shall be subject to being destroyed by order of the Poundkeeper; provided, the Poundkeeper may, in his or her discretion, release any such dog to any person paying the fees provided to be paid in case of redemption, or may release any such dog to the Orphans of the Storm, Inc., or to other organizations with or without the payment of any fees or costs.
B. Licensed Dogs. When any licensed dog shall be taken up or impounded, the owner shall pay the cost of keeping such dog while impounded. If, at the expiration of six days from the date of notice to the owner, such dog shall not be redeemed by the owner, the Poundkeeper may cause such dog to be destroyed; provided, the Poundkeeper may, in his or her discretion, release any such dog to any persons paying the fees above provided to be paid in case of redemption or may release any such dog to the Orphans of the Storm, Inc., or to other organizations with or without the payment of any fees or costs.
