Where do the animal control officers take the animals they pick up?

Animal Control Officers pick up stray, roaming, sick or injured animals. They are impounded at the Shelter located at 3807 Cook Boulevard in the Cavalier Industrial Park. They are held for a minimum of five days, not including the date of pick up. Animals with collars or other identification are held an additional five days. After the holding period, any animal not claimed by the owner may be offered for adoption, transferred to another shelter or euthanized (put to sleep). Animals are held and cared for as long as possible based on age, health, condition, temperament, and space at the shelter. A critically ill or injured animal may be euthanized at any time to prevent its suffering.
