An institution so authorized by the Iowa department of public health may request dogs from a pound. The pound shall tender to such institution all dogs in its custody seized or held by authority of the state, municipality or other political subdivision, except that no dog shall be so tendered unless it has been held for redemption by its owner or sale for a period of not less than three nor more than fifteen days and no dog lawfully licensed at the time of its seizure shall be so tendered unless its owner shall so consent in writing. No dogs, except those actually sick or injured or those lawfully licensed at the time of seizure, shall be destroyed by a pound while a request to that pound of an authorized institution is unfulfilled unless first tendered to such institution and refused by it.
