Hmm, I'm not sure on that. I didn't ask how long they would hold him - it sounded like he would be adopted out soon. I know at the animal shelter in my area they only hold found animals for 3 days before putting them up for adoption. I know that includes horses because a little mini was found wandering in this area last year. I know many dogs/cats are lost while the owners are on vacation and some of them are unaware or unable to coordinate a search effort until they return, at which time the dog/cat could potentially be adopted. However, the shelter probably isn't overrun with minis so they probably could hold onto him longer, if they were so inclined. My thoughts though are that if the owner hasn't reported him as stolen, posted online to NetPosse and sites like those, or seen the news on him, how does the police/animal control find them?? I've searched online and so far haven't turned up anything that matches his description, although I will keep looking. I think there is only so much animal control and the police can do. Hopefully he DOES have owners that love him and want him back and HOPEFULLY they will see the news on him but I think if they were going to they would have by now. Another scenario I just thought of is maybe he was stolen a long time ago and the owners stopped looking for him - that could explain it as well. It's a tough situation but looks like it will end well for the little guy regardless, thankfully.
