We cannot determine a reclaim deadline from a state-wide hour count. The applicable rule may depend on species, owner notification, intake time, local policies, exceptions and business days.
Ask the facility where your animal is being held to confirm its status, reclaim procedure, fees and any deadline. Do not wait for an estimated date.
