Impound & Adoption
|
Barrington Oaks' Elk River
location serves as the impound facility for Elk River,
Minnesota.
Animals that are found
and picked up by the local authorities are delivered to the Elk River
location by the authorities. All animals are scanned for microchip
identification upon admission to the hospital. If the animal is
identified with an owner by means of microchip, identification or rabies
tags, the owner is contacted. Otherwise, they are held for a period of
7 days. An ad for the found pet is placed in the local shoppers.
During that time, an owner may come forward to claim their pet, with
fees* payable to both the police department and to the impound facility
of Barrington Oaks Veterinary Hospital.
If you find an animal at large, please contact your local
authorities. Please do not bring the animal to us. We do not
accept animals directly; it must be admitted through the
local authorities. All telephone calls regarding stray animals will be
referred to the local authorities. Thank you for your consideration.
Fees payable to the city of Elk River
are as follows:
First incident: $30.00
Second incident: $50.00
Third incident: $100.00
*please inquire for applicable fees,
thank you.
*These fees are payable to the city
of Elk River upon release of pet to the owner/handler and are listed as
per incidence, per pet, per year. A separate handling fee is payable to
Barrington Oaks Veterinary hospital upon release of pet to the
owner/handler.
If an animal is not claimed by the owner during the
allotted period of time, the animal is then assessed for the purpose of
adoption.
All animals are scanned for microchip identification
upon admission to the hospital. All animals are treated for fleas.
All dogs are given the Bordetella vaccination to protect against kennel
cough. Cats are feline leukemia tested and checked for ear mites.
Prior to adoption, appropriate vaccinations are given, including
distemper and rabies. Feces is tested and de-worming medication is
administered.
Cats and kittens
are frequently adopted out from Barrington Oaks Veterinary Hospital in
Elk River. There is a set adoption fee to cover some of the costs
involved in preparing the animal for adoption. This also includes a
discount on the spay or neuter surgery, if the animal is not already
altered. Dogs are also adopted out from the Elk River location, with
canine rescue groups and local humane societies utilized as resources in
the event that the dog is not adopted in a reasonable amount of time.
Although Barrington Oaks is a full-service veterinary hospital and space
is limited, our goal is to find suitable homes for these animals as the
desirable alternative to euthanasia.
We invite you to stop by our Elk River location to see the pets
that are currently available for adoption!
