The population changes somewhat daily. Animals are reunited with owners, adopted into new homes or sadly but humanely put to sleep. Animal Control Officers are on duty seven days a week. Officers respond to a variety of calls for service. Officers enforce municipal codes as well as State and Federal laws pertaining to animals.
Officers handle a variety of both domestic and wild animals.
They patrol the city streets and pick up or impound, dogs running at large, dead animals, injured animals, aggressive animals, handle reports of animal cruelty or negelect, animal welfare concerns, animals in distress, noisy animals and animal bites. Officers issue citations for violations, write crime reports, handle investigations and write other miscellanous reports. Adoptions You may choose to adopt from a large population of animals from our shelter. The new pet owner then goes directly to the animal hospital to pick their animal up and no additional fees are owed to the hospital. The City of Redlands pays any cost above the deposit paid by the adoptee to cover the total cost of the surgery.
