Pets can't tell authorities where they live - and tags serve as your pet's free phone call home. This is the most important thing you can do for your pet. If you've lost a pet - post signs, talk to mail carriers and children in the neighborhood, and check all animal shelters and other animal holding areas. Animal Control officers enforce ordinances such as leash laws, vaccination requirements and registration of many types of non-domestic animals. They investigate nuisance situations and assure humane treatment of animals.
Brochures are available on animal control laws and others services.
Animal control officers can visit your school or group for an informational presentation on responsible pet care and the responsibilities of their job. Animal Control staff do presentations for County schools, neighborhood groups and service groups. For more information contact the DOH Animal Services Manager .
