Under NYS law, stray animals delivered to HVHS must be kept for at least seven (7) days. If unclaimed after seven (7) days, by their rightful owner, the animals become the property of HVHS and become available for adoption. An animal surrendered to HVHS by its legal owner immediately belongs to HVHS and is available for adoption.
