Most animal shelters have no set time limit for holding an animal. In most shelters decisions about euthanasia and adoption are based on factors that include the temperament and health of an animal as well as the space and resources available to humanely house and properly care for the animal.

Some animal shelter take in stray dogs, and many of those shelters have an established holding period for animals so as to give their owners a chance to find and claim them. This stray holding period is typically set by state or local government and because of that can vary from community to community. However the Humane Society of the United States recommends this holding period be five day, and that the shelter should make sure that one of those days is a Saturday so as to ensure that working owners have every possible opportunity to reclaim their lost pet.

If you start with 1 p and double it everyday how many days will it take you to get to 1 million pounds?

After 1 day, you would have 2 pounds. After 2 days, you would have 4 pounds. After 3 days, you would have 8 pounds. After 4 days, you would have 16 pounds. After 5 days, you would have 32 pounds. After 6 days, you would have 64 pounds. After 7 days, you would have 128 pounds. After 8 days, you would have 256 pounds. After 9 days, you would have 512 pounds. After 10 days, you would have 1.024 pounds. After 11 days, you would have 2.048 pounds. After 12 days, you would have 4.096 pounds. After 13 days, you would have 8.192 pounds.

If you would get the money exponentially (not double it on a certain point on the day, but just continuing to grow all day), then it would take you log(2,1.000.000)=19,931568... days. So the answer is 19,931 or 20 days.
