<div class="chunk-content">
            <p class="p0">
               It shall be unlawful for any person in the county to knowingly and intentionally harbor,
               feed, keep in possession by confinement, or otherwise, any stray animal which does
               not belong to him, unless he has, within 24 hours from the time such animal came into
               his possession, notified animal control of his intentions to either surrender the
               stray animal to animal control or advertise such stray animal in the local newspaper
               with the most circulations of five consecutive days. If the individual holding the
               stray animal selects to advertise the animal and the prior owner does not respond
               by the tenth day and the individual has not chosen to surrender the animal to the
               shelter, the individual who has advertised shall be deemed the legal owner. If the
               advertisement has not started within 72 hours, animal control requires that the animal
               be surrendered to an authorized representative of animal control. It shall be unlawful
               for any person to refuse to surrender any such stray animal.
