Animal Services

Animal ordinances encourage responsible pet ownership. Owning a pet is a privilege, but also a big responsibility. Animal laws protect public health and safety and keep owners from allowing their animals to be a nuisance to their neighbors. These laws also protect animals from cruel treatment, neglect, and injury. The Animal Services Unit is currently comprised of four animal services officers: Officers Shephard and Voltin, and we currently have two vacancies.

Please review the Winter Pet Safety Tips article to keep your pets safe as the weather cools down.
