If after 14 days from the date of the first posting of notice no satisfactory proof of ownership of the animal has been made, or if the owner fails or refuses to pay all expenses which were incurred, the director shall sell the animal at public sale.

All sales which are made pursuant to this chapter convey a good and valid title to the purchaser. The former owner of the animal so sold is thereafter barred from all right to recover it.
