FYI: THERE ARE CURRENTLY 37 DOGS AT FWACC, 3020 HILLEGAS ROAD, FORT WAYNE, IN. IF YOU HAVE A DOG THAT IS MISSING, PLEASE PHYSICALLY GO INTO THE SHELTER AND WALK THEIR STRAY RUNS. DO NOT RELY ON OBTAINING INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE. AS A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FILE A LOST REPORT AND WALK THOSE STRAY RUNS EVERY 2 DAYS UNTIL YOUR DOG IS FOUND. INFO FROM FWACC WEBPAGE: Stray Animals: A stray animal is held by Animal Care & Control for a minimum of three business days, if they are not tagged or chipped and 4 business days if they are tagged/chipped, the first day does not count if the animal arrives during business hours. Weekends and holidays are not considered in the count. For example, if your pet is picked up on a Wednesday after 11 a.m., it will be available for reclaim until 5:30PM on Monday. At that time, the city owns the animal and may then evaluate it for the adoption program or transfer the animal to a partner rescue agency/shelter. Animals that show signs of advanced illness or aggression or have needs beyond available resources are not eligible for these options. Found Animal: When animals are found and wearing identification,or chipped the owners are notified immediately and when possible, pets may be returned directly to their homes. cityoffortwayne.org/service/find-a-lost-animal.html
