Frequently Asked Questions

Whenever you find a stray animal and take it into your care, you must report it within 24 hours. Please notify us at the Summit County Animal Shelter at 435-336-3985 as soon as possible.

You can then bring the animal to the shelter, or an Officer can come to pick them up from you. Every stray must be under shelter care during its mandatory stray hold, during which Animal Control makes every effort to search for that animal's owners.
