Visalia Animal Control Shelter

My dogs are tied up in a gated fence when I'm at work.. I came home one day n they were gone . I went to this location and found them in the shelter I really want to bring them home n the only options I have is to pay 500 dollars!!! Or they kill them..!!! What kind of shelter is that? I'm claiming my dogs and I can't bring them home .. Those are my babies ... Dogs get loose sometimes is it really necessary to make someone go Thru hell just to get their loved ones back?? This method is so unfair .. I would think they would want to give them back for less because they have so many commercials about ppl that abandon their dogs ...
