    25-2804.  TAKING UP DOGS WITHOUT COLLAR AND TAG. After sixty (60) days
from the date of the board's meeting at which this measure is adopted, it
shall be the duty of the sheriff of the county to seize and impound any and
all dogs, other than those located in a municipality within said county which
has enacted and is enforcing a dog license law, at large without a collar with
such license tag or disc as prescribed in section 25-2803, Idaho Code. No dog
which is impounded pursuant to this section shall be killed before five (5)
days, excluding weekends and holidays, have elapsed from the time of the
taking up of the dog. After the five (5) days, excluding weekends and
holidays, have elapsed and a reasonable effort has failed to locate the owner,
the sheriff or his delegate may kill the dog in a humane manner. It shall be
the duty of the sheriff of the county or his delegate also to seize and
impound any and all such dogs at large wearing collars with such license tags
or discs, on which the owner has failed to obtain or renew the annual license;
provided, that when a dog wearing a collar with a license attached has been
taken up, the sheriff shall notify the owner, if known, who may thereupon
recover possession of the dog on payment of the license fee, costs, and any
pertinent county fine.
