A 1997 survey of 1000 shelters by the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy is instructive. Those shelters alone handled 4.3 million animals, with 64% (2.7 million) of the animals euthanized because of overcrowding, sickness, injury, or aggression. 13 Further survey results showed that, at those shelters, 56% of dogs and 71% of cats were euthanized, 25% of dogs and 24% of cats were adopted, and only 15.8% of dogs and 2% of cats were reclaimed by their owners.

Understatement For Pet Owners
by Steve Reiss (stevenreiss@scienbizippc.com)
The problem arises when a prior owner asserts a claim to an animal after a hold period has expired and the animal has already been placed by direct adoption with a member of the public or transferred to a rescue or private shelter.

I don't think we really need a law review to tell us this.
