Animal Control

The Animal Control Department enforces the county's animal control ordinance on a county-wide basis including all municipalities. This department responds to complaints regarding stray and nuisance animals, animal cruelty, animal bites, and rabies exposure. The department also provides temporary shelter for stray, unwanted, and homeless animals at the 104-unit animal shelter, and manages a volunteer program and animal adoption program.
