All customers who are reclaiming an owned pet are expected to pay all fees associated with services that Animal Care has rendered at time of reclaiming the animal. The county doesn't offer a payment plan nor can animal owners work off any debt.
All monetary transactions at the Animal Shelter must be completed thirty minutes prior to closing each business day. Fees over $100 must be paid in cash or by credit card.
