Found dogs... we get a lot of phone calls and emails from well intended people. For our friends in the Orange County, California area and this most likely applies to many other communities in California about lost pets. Finding a bulldog doesnt mean you get to keep it because you feel lucky, or give away to a friend that really wanted one and couldnt afford it. It also means you cant give away to rescue either - there could be a family looking for this lost pet. OCCO 4-1-49 Private property states in part: “No person owning or having care, custody, or control of any animal, shall permit, either willfully or through failure to exercise proper control, such animal to trespass or be upon any private property of another person without the consent of such person”. Although there are no leash laws for cats, you do have the right to trap a cat that is trespassing on your property. “No person shall, without the consent of the owner, hold or retain possession of any animal for more than twenty-four (24) hours without first reporting the possession of such animal” to OC Animal Care (OCCO 4-1-106 Retention Without Owners Consent). If you find a stray animal, please call OC Animal Care immediately. It is unlawful for you to keep a lost pet. If OC Animal Care is unable to locate the owner, you may place a hold on the animal for legal adoption at the end of its retention period. If not sure about your community, get on line and check.
