A: If you can't afford to pay the impoundment fees to release your animal in San Jose, consider these options:

Contact local animal welfare organizations for potential financial assistance.

Seek help from friends or family who may be able to cover the fees temporarily.

Reach out to local veterinary clinics or nonprofits for low-cost options or payment plans.

Consider crowdfunding or fundraising to gather the necessary funds.

Contact the impoundment facility to inquire about any available assistance programs.

Take action promptly to ensure your animal's well-being, and be proactive in seeking support.
