    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.
