From Dog Catcher to Animal Control Officer
The Animal Control Division was established in 1935
when there was a Dog Warden, but in 1991 it was renamed Animal Control
due to the arrival of the rabies virus which had been steadily moving up the East Coast.
An Animal Control Officer is charged with catching stray or loose dogs, cats,
and sometimes other animals, and bringing them to a shelter where the animals are held
for a certain time before being returned to their owners, put up for adoption or euthanized.
(Any dog impounded at the Bridgeport Animal Control Facility will be advertised
in the lost and found section of the Connecticut Post.
Seven(7) days from the advertisement date, the dog will go up for adoption.)
Animal control officers are also responsible for investigating incidents of human contact with both
wild and domestic animals, such as bites.
They usually work with Health Departments to ensure the health of humans injured by animals.
The term "Dogcatcher" does have its place in history!
There are variations of the title,"I wouldn't vote for him for dogcatcher"
or "He couldn't run for dogcatcher in this country"
refers to an individual so poorly regarded that the individual in question
is not fit to be elected to even a trivial position of public trust.
But in fact the role of the Animal Control Officer has changed over the past few decades.
Gone are the days of the big bad "dog catcher".
Today's ACO focuses more on educating the public on proper animal care,
and rescuing animals from dangerous or abusive situations.

about what you are actually going to do
As much as we want you to adopt

First consider the budget you will have to set aside
to have a dog or cat as a pet.

put into your pet.
The animals you adopt are NEW to your home so
they may stress out a little and not behave.
They may have an accident or two or three!
Your future dog or cat should be fixed!!
which will cost money.
Then you have to think about vet care for your pet.
Most of our animals do not have a history so
we ask that your NEW pet be taken
immediatly to a vet for a check up
We do want you to adopt our dogs and cats but we want
to make sure it is a GREAT match and that the animal will not
be back in 4 hours because it pee'd!
To be considered, you MUST fill out an application.
