So you are a little unclear so here's two answers. You adopted the dog: your dog has to go through surgery to be altered, they will call you when you can pick it up. This is your dog someone else adopted because you never came to get it: if you do not reclaim your dog by coming down to pick it up you abandoned it. By law the shelter gains ownership and they do their best to find a home for the animal. If they animal has left the shelter its now legally owned by someone else. You did not not come for the dog so you abandoned it.
I would suggest you go down there, Saturdays are pretty busy for them
The first one. I left him to be neutered but I did not expect it to take this long since the last 2 times I did this for my other 2 dogs, they were back within 3 days.
Thanks! Your answer is awaiting moderation.
