What does your local county shelter do? How does it handle stray pets? What

happens when stray pet’s owners are not found? What do shelters do to increase the

number of strays returned to owners and keep more pets out of the overcrowded

shelters. How can the local community help decrease overcrowding at local shelters

and help the animals that are in our local shelters?
