A. It is unlawful for any dog whether or not the same is licensed and/or vaccinated, to stray, run, or in any other manner to be at large in or upon any public highway, street, sidewalk, alley, lane, park or other public place, or upon the property of any person other than the animal owner, without the permission of the owner or occupant of such property.

B. Any person finding at any time any dog at large contrary to the provisions of this chapter may take up and hold the same; provided, however, that such person so taking up such dog shall, within four hours after taking up such dog, or if such dog is taken up at a time when the shelter facility is not open for the transaction of business, within four hours after the shelter is again open for business, notify animal control and the shelter of the fact that they have such dog in their possession and shall, upon demand, surrender possession of such dog to the sheltering agency or animal control. It shall be the duty of animal control or the shelter to take custody of any such dog and impound the same subject to the provisions of this chapter.
