Who We Are
The primary mission of the Animal Services Division is to educate the public about responsible pet ownership, enforce the Animal Services Ordinance, while providing shelter for impounded animals.
The Animal Services Officers investigate animal bites, citizen complaints, enforce the Animal Services Ordinance, impound stray animals, issue citations for violations, investigate cruelty and neglect, prosecute court cases, and respond to emergency calls.
