facility.

Animal with

The animal is held for 7 days, the owner is contacted via phone. If
the animal is not claimed within the 7 days, the animal is put up
for adoption.
-
Dogs involved
in bite incidents:
If the dog is current on its Rabies vaccination it can be released
to the owner for home confinement. Those dogs that are not current
on their Rabies vaccination must be confined at either the Animal
Control Facility or at a licensed Veterinarians clinic. In both
instances, the dog must be confined for a period of 10 days
beginning with the date of the bite. Since cats are not required to
be vaccinated they can be confined at home, if the cat is a stray it
must be confined at the Animal Control Facility.
-
Length of time
animals are kept at the Animal Control Facility:
Depends on the number of animals that are currently being housed at
the facility. The average time an animal is kept at the facility is
between 10-20 days.

Reclaiming of
Animal:
The animal may be reclaimed by an owner after showing proof of
inoculation or after an appointment to have the animal inoculated
has been set up with the owner’s veterinarian of choice. The animal
owner will be responsible for paying any fees incurred, including
but not limited to: registration fee, micro-chipping fee, boarding
fee, and any other Animal Control fees as they apply.
