How long is a dog held at the Shelter after it has been picked up by an Animal Control Officer?
If a dog is wearing a current dog license, it will be held at the Shelter for up to fourteen (14) days. We will make several attempts to contact the dog’s owner. Unlicensed dogs are only held for three (3) days. Every attempt is made to reunite lost dogs with their owners. After the waiting period, dogs are evaluated for adoption.
