include police departments which impound dogs, but do not have complete policies for disposal of impounded dogs. We currently have a dog in impound, which has been here twice as long as usual, because the city can't freaking decided what to do with it. They have a plan for 1: stray dogs which are claimed by owner (pay impound fee, boarding, buy a license, make sure it's vaccinated for rabies) 2: stray dogs which are not claimed by owner (send them to rescue or, if they were impounded for biting, euthanize). They do NOT have a plan for dogs impounded for running loose, owner shows up but cannot/does not pay the impound fee. *headdesk*
