ADOPTING A FRIEND
Dogs and cats are kept for five days or as long as there is room. If you see a dog or cat that you are interested in, please call the shelter and leave a message that includes your phone number. An animal control officer will reply as soon as possible. However, it's best to just call until someone answers. The ac officers usually don't return calls because they're busy.
