All animals and poultry if found running at large upon any public road, highway, street, alley, square, park, school ground or other public place, or in or upon any lot, premises or property of another shall be impounded by the poundmaster and provided with proper care and attention, food and water. The poundmaster shall keep all animals and poultry for a period of three days unless the same is sooner reclaimed or redeemed by the owner or person having control thereof. Such redemption by the owner or person having control thereof, shall be made by signing an affidavit, under penalty of perjury, declaring ownership or by exhibiting proof of ownership to the satisfaction of the poundmaster and by paying to the poundmaster any charges imposed thereon in accordance with a schedule to be approved by the council. Upon such redemption being made, the poundmaster shall release such animals and poultry; provided, however, that in all cases any charges provided for keeping such animals and poultry must be paid. (Prior code § 4120.3)
