     Mission:

    The Animal Control Department's mission is to encourage, secure, and enforce those animal control measures deemed desirable and necessary for the protection of human health, safety, and welfare and, to the greatest extent possible, prevent injury to property and cruelty to animal life.

    The Shelter temporarily houses stray and abandoned companion animals. These animals, in many cases, are made available for adoption to the public. Contracts are maintained with other jurisdictions, such as unincorporated Snohomish County, for use of shelter facilities.

    Announcement:

    Donations are needed to help cover the cost of continued medical care for the animals. You may mail your donations to The Everett Animal Shelter 333 Smith Island Road, Everett, Washington 98201 or simply stop by and visit!
