Oh, Aly! I am sorry to hear about this whole mess. And on a busy day like the one you had!

In Georgia shelters, owners have 72 hours to claim their lost pets. If the owners claim them after those 3 days, they have to go through the adoption processes if the dog is available in the shelter. I am not sure if the rules are the same in Austin. If they are, then there is no way Nookie can go home with them. Their adoption application can be denied!

You and Nookie will be in my thoughts today. Please post soon about how the meeting went.
