What do you do if you lost your pet, the animal shelter picks him up, and gives him to somebody else that was not his owner? I want to get my pet back but they won’t let me. What should I Do?

They have a hold for three days, if after that you must have proof that you were the owner of the animal (vet records, proof of purchase, vaccination records etc.) Present it to the manager, she will contact the adoptive party and if all else fails you can file a claim with the Lake County courts.

How long did the shelter have the dog until you found out about them having the dog?
