Are animal shelters allowed to adopt your dog out before the grace period is up?

No they are not and for good reason, this grace period provides the owners with the opportunity to come and reclaim their dog. After all not every dog at the shelter has been abandoned by their owners, some are beloved family pets, who ran away or got lost and is sorely missed. The best thing you can do if the dog you are interested in isn't up for adoption quite yet is to let the shelter know that you are interested and ask them to contact you if the dog hasn't been claimed at the end of the grace period.

How many days does an animal stay in the shelter?
This all depends of the shelter in question. Most animal shelters have no set time limit for holding an animal. In the vast majority of shelters decisions about adoption and euthanasia are based on factors such as the temperament and health of the animal as well as the space and resources available to humanely house and properly care for the animal. Some animal shelter take in stray and many of these facilities have an established holding period for those animals so as to give their owners a chance to find and claim them. This holding period will either be determined by local or state law so it will vary from community to community. However the recommended holding period is typically five days.
