The Village of Morton Grove employs one full time civilian Community Service Officer for Animal Control within the Village. The Animal Control Officer will investigate all animal complaints including animal bites and cruelty to animals. Animal Control does not handle complaints or questions involving pest control. All strays are first taken to the Police Department in an attempt to locate and identify the rightful owner. Wild animals that make a home in homeowners attics or chimneys are contracted out to a private relocation service.
Cats fall under the same ordinance when it comes to being on a leash .
All dogs and cats must have Morton Grove animal and rabies tags displayed at all times. Feces must be picked up while walking your pet. Their telephone number is 965-4010. Raccoons commonly get into garbage cans. Keeping the lids on securely, even with bungee cords, will help minimize raccoons entering your cans.
