Animal Services

Our mission

Our mission is to promote responsible pet ownership, prevent the spread of animal-borne diseases, protect the health and safety of the public by capturing dangerous and stray animals, and to protect animals and promote their humane treatment. Further, to provide temporary shelter for healthy, non-aggressive animals while promoting pet adoptions throughout our community and local rescue organizations. We continuously work to educate the public through educational presentations, material, and Social Media. All activities shall be in compliance with Federal, State and Local laws and regulations.

Basic operations

In general, city-licensed (registered) animals are held for 10 days and unlicensed animals for 3 business days. After that, the animal’s disposition may be determined by the behavior and health of the animal as well as space within the shelter. If the animal is severely injured or diseased, the holding periods can be waived.
