Who We Are

Olathe Animal Control operates a clean, modern animal Shelter where many animals are available for adoption. Olathe Animal Control is a unit of the Special Operations Division of the Olathe Police Department. Animal Control provides for a safe and healthy environment for both the animals and the citizens of Olathe through enforcement of the Animal Control Ordinances. This is accomplished by providing enforcement and community education through the following:

• Enforcement of leash laws to reduce the free ranging canine and feline populations. It is unlawful to allow an animal to "run at large."
• Investigation of all animal bites within the program's jurisdiction.
• Enforcement of ordinances pertaining to licensing and rabies vaccination.
• Investigation of all animal neglect and abuse cases.
• Encourage responsible pet ownership.
• Provide for dead animal disposal.
• Establish Community Education Programs to provide information on responsible pet ownership and bite prevention.
• Encourage the reduction of unwanted pets through support of spay and neuter programs.
• Lost and found services, animal adoptions and educational programs.
