After four days, healthy animals are made available for adoption. We also maintain a Lost and Found file and bulletin board. It is a mistake to rely upon the Animal Care Staff to correctly identify your pet when there are hundreds of animals here all the time. Over 53,000 unfortunate animals were impounded last year. Fewer than 800 had any identification.
Some owners bring in pets they can no longer keep.
When this happens, we hold the animal as long as we have space available. The pet is immediately available for placement in a new home. Animal Cruelty - Several cases of Animal Neglect and Cruelty are reported to the Animal Care Division each week. If an animal is confined to a small area, deprived of food, water, shelter or exercise, an Animal Cruelty Investigator will investigate each complaint and resolve any problems identified. The Animal Care Facility has a wide variety of potential pets from which you and your family may choose.
