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.

That depends on the shelter they go to. Many shelters now have a no euthanasia policy so the animal will be adopted out no matter how long it takes. Other shelters are so over crowded they set a time limit on the number of days an animal may stay at the facility.
