If an animal is deemed not adoptable at the time of their reservation, the person who brought the animal in is given the following options: to keep the pet and/or to take the animal to a veterinarian for treatment, to seek placement at a local animal shelter or rescue group or owner requested euthanasia.
This is sometimes difficult because microchip and license databases are not kept current by owners. Use of the internet to locate new telephone numbers, addresses, etc. can be helpful.

To be certain the owners are truly the pet’s folks, do not publicize all information. Leave out one or two key identifiers that the owners can tell you. In cases that you cannot catch the animal call Animal Control, numbers below. It can be of great value to post sightings of animals that are clearly lost and not caught.
