When the shelter's capacity of stray and owner surrendered animals reaches a maximum animals must be euthanized. Most animals can be euthanized after 72 hours. You must report a found animal to the shelter, but you are not required to surrender the animal. If you hold a found animal, you must keep it at least 72 hours AFTER you reported it as found before finding it a home, adopting, etc. (same as the shelter stray hold) but longer is better. Email the shelter with photo(s), date found and where found, and finder contact information. The shelter and most vets will scan for microchips. Posting on lost and found sites, flyers at area found, vet offices and shelter are also very helpful to reunite lost pets with owners.
