Any owner or keeper of a dog who does not claim or redeem said dog within the five (5) day impounding period shall forfeit all right, title, and interest in said dog. Any dog which has not been redeemed within five (5) days as herein provided, or any dog which, in the opinion of a veterinarian, is experiencing extreme pain or suffering during the five (5) day impounding period, may at once be humanely euthanized under the direction of the director of the impounding facility and removed and buried or cremated. No dog shall be put up for adoption or euthanized until reasonable efforts have been made to notify the owner, either orally or in writing, if the dog is experiencing extreme pain or suffering as determined by a veterinarian or if the whereabouts of such owner is known or can be ascertained from a license tag or other identification found on the dog. In cases where the dog is experiencing extreme pain or suffering as determined by a veterinarian and the owner is identifiable, "reasonable efforts" shall mean efforts to notify the owner for a period of up to twenty-four (24) hours. Any 992628 person adopting an unclaimed dog, pursuant to this Section 7, shall provide proof of sterilization to the impounding facility within 30 days of adoption for adult dogs or at nine months of age, if the dog is adopted before that age. The time requirements of this sterilization requirement shall be suspended upon receipt by the impounding facility of a letter from a licensed veterinarian stating that sterilization is not recommended. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Weld, State of Colorado, that Section 6 be, and hereby is, repealed and re-enacted as abovestated.
