Animal Control Division

The Animal Control Division is responsible for the enforcement of State laws and local ordinances pertaining to animals and serves as a contact point for the public with regard to animal problems and issues. The staff strives to assure the protection, health and safety of animals and people through education and enforcement of regulations. This Division also works in conjunction with various agencies, such as State Fish & Game and the Sheriff’s Department, on animal related issues. The Animal Control Division provides and maintains a state mandated rabies control program through dog licensing.

The Animal Control Division provides a highly visible animal control presence in the community through patrol, which addresses many of the concerns of local residents, such as loose dogs. Animal Control provides emergency service 24 hours per day, seven days a week for addressing exigent circumstances.
