§ 3482. Escapes and rescues
If an animal escapes, or is unlawfully rescued from a pound, such animal may, within
five days thereafter, be retaken wherever found and again impounded by the keeper
of the pound, or by the person impounding it, and the animal shall be held for the
payment of the fees and charges, as in this chapter provided. In case the animal
was rescued with the knowledge and assent of the owner or keeper, it shall be held
for the payment of the reasonable expense and trouble that accrues in retaking the
same, to be paid to the poundkeeper, like other charges and expenses.
