How long are stray animals kept at the shelter?
Stray animals are held for a period of five business days. During this time the animals are checked for identification tags, scanned for a microchip, and the staff will look through reports of lost animals to check for a description that matches the animal. At the end of the holding period the animal will become the property of the county. The animal then may be evaluated to see if it may be put up for adoption or sent to a rescue organization.
