Unless otherwise provided by contract between the veterinarian and his or her client, a veterinarian may dispose of any animal abandoned in his or her care if he or she gives notice of his or her intention to do so by certified mail sent to the last known address of the client. The veterinarian must allow the client twelve (12) days from the mailing of the certified letter in which to retrieve the animal.
