Adoption Policy
Placing An Animal For Adoption
The following guidance is used by Animal Control staff to determine when to place an animal for adoption:
- Animals turned into the Osceola County Animal Control Shelter by the owner are available for immediate adoption.
- In order to give the owner time to claim his/her animal, stray animals without a collar are held four working days before being placed for adoption.
- In order to give the owner time to claim his/her animal, stray animals with a collar are held seven working days before being placed for adoption.
- After the appropriate four or seven day period the animal becomes the property of Osceola County Animal Control.
