"I'm sorry, but your "experience" is simply wrong. Read the ordinances again. I've already quoted the relevant portions."

My experience is right, also you haven't quoted the relevant portions of the ordinance because you do not even know what county I worked in.

"An animal shall be deemed to be harbored if it is fed and/or sheltered for three (3) or more consecutive days."

If we go by the ordinance you quoted than my understanding of harbored means that if you have an animal under your control your are legally responsible for it, it doesn't mean that you can take your neighbors dog from him and three days later he is yours. For example, harborage is a term I use to use to write tickets when an individual would say "thats not my dog, it's my room mates" or "the dog is just visiting".

What I think is more relevant is after 5 days:

(g) If the owner of the impounded animal cannot be located, then such owner shall be conclusively presumed to have given consent to the adoption of the impounded animal, or to have given consent to euthanize the animal in accordance with O.C.G.A. § 4-11-5.1 and § 4-5-1 et seq.
