How long do you keep animals?

Under the Animals for Research Act, we are required to keep stray animals for a minimum of 3 days, excluding the day the animal was impounded and weekends and holidays. All stray animals turned into the Animal Control Officers are held for longer times depending on their temperament, or their health. During this period the animal is checked for tags, microchips, tattoo’s or any other type if identification. Every attempt is made to reunite these animals with their owners. At the end of the animal’s redemption period a decision is made as to whether the animal is suitable for adoption or not. This decision is based on the animal’s age, medical condition and temperament.
