An institution so authorized by the Iowa department of public health may request dogs from a pound. The pound may tender to such institution dogs in its custody seized or held by authority of the state, municipality, or other political subdivision. However, a dog shall not be tendered unless it has been held for redemption by its owner or for sale for a period of not less than three nor more than fifteen days. A dog lawfully licensed at the time of its seizure shall not be tendered unless its owner consents in writing. Unless a dog is sick or injured or lawfully licensed at the time of seizure, a pound shall not destroy a dog while a request of an authorized institution to that pound is pending.
