Did you know there is a law on the books in Minnesota that allows licensed institutions to seize animals left for more than five days in publicly-funded facilities? That’s right, if your pet were to end up at, say, an animal control facility and you were unable to claim your four-legged friend within five days, the animal control facility is legally required to turn it over to a licensed institution requesting the animal.
The good news is that there are ways you can prevent this from happening to you
- The law also prohibits institutions from seizing animals with identification indicating that the animal cannot be made available for research. Click here to see an example.
