Animal Care and Control holds all stray dogs for a minimum of five days and all stray cats for a minimum of three days to allow pet owners time to visit the shelter and look for their lost pet. After this time, the animal is then evaluated for adoption, rescue, foster care or humane euthanasia. There is no restriction for the amount of time healthy, adoptable animals can stay in the shelter.
