Return to Owner

“Return to Owner” is a program that is available to pet owners who voluntarily purchase a city tag for their cat or dog. The tag must be for the current calendar year.

As part of the “Return to Owner” program, the Humane Society will waive the impound fee the first time the animal is impounded. Qualified owners are allowed access to the “Return to Owner” program on a once per year per license basis.

In accordance with the “Return to Owner” Program, no other charges, fees, or fines are required to be waived other than the impound fee at first instance. If the animal is not claimed by the owner and if the owner is not available to receive the animal by the end of the next business day following the day the animal is impounded, then the qualified owner is responsible for the $10.00 per day fee.
