What happens to dogs and cats when they are picked up?

When animals are picked up by our officers, an attempt to find the owner is made. They will leave a contact notice on the residence if there is no one home. If an owner can not be found or determined the animal is transported to the Wayne County Animal Services for processing. Here it is given shots upon intake and scanned for a microchip as well as all tags and collars are checked and recorded for any owner information. They are also observed for any injuries of obvious illness. They are then placed in a kennel with fresh food and water.
