Sec. 262.11  Impounding of dogs.

    Any dog found running at large in a part of the National Forest 
System, which has been closed to dogs running at large, may be captured 
and impounded by Forest officers. Forest officers will notify the owner 
of the dog, if known, of such impounding, and the owner will be given 
five days to redeem the dog. A dog may be redeemed by the owner 
submitting adequate evidence of ownership and paying all expenses 
incurred by the Forest Service in capturing and impounding it. If the 
owner fails to redeem the dog within five days after notice, or if the 
owner cannot be ascertained within 10 days from the date of impounding, 
the dog may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of at the discretion of 
the Forest officer having possession of it.
