In animal control care or custody, if an animal must be seen by our veterinarian all costs must be paid by the owner of the animal before it will be released back to them.
Also reduce our stay hold time from 5 days to 3 days.
Also reduce our animals hold with a collar from 10 days to 7 day hold. We are trying to reduce the amount of time the animal must stay in our facility for their health and welfare. Also freeing up our pens and putting less risk of our facility catching any diseases that may have us quarantine for up to 14 days.
