The owner of any animal other than a dog or livestock impounded under the provisions of this Title may redeem it within 48 hours from the time of impounding by paying to the animal control agency the appropriate redemption fee and providing proof of such animal's current pet license (if applicable) at the time of redemption. In addition to the redemption fee, the redeemer shall pay all charges for the care and keeping of such animal, equal to the current total daily rate, including the first and last days, that the animal is retained by the impounding authority. If such animal is not redeemed by the owner within 48 hours, it may be humanely destroyed or otherwise disposed of at the discretion of the animal control agency; provided, however, that any animal so impounded less than two months of age, at the discretion of the animal control agency, may be humanely destroyed or otherwise disposed of at any time after impounding.
