Claiming is a process which occurs when an animal strays away from its owner for any of a number of reasons. The stray may be picked up or reported by a concerned member of the community.
Owners or concerned citizens may need to turn over their pets or stray animals to the Shelter. Separations of animals and their owners can be very traumatic events, and the Shelter staff try to provide empathy and caring during the transition process. A separate entrance titled “Admit” is located to the right of the main entrance and should be used by anyone bringing an animal to the Shelter.
When you lose your best friend—the one you could always count on to be there when you were down, the one who warmed you, played with you, and made you laugh no matter how bad you felt—then of course you can cry.
