Offenders may be prosecuted in District Court. The Animal Shelter is located at 2408 Davis Road. Before an animal can be redeemed, the owner must provide proof of current rabies vaccination or there will be an additional charge. All cats and dogs will be spayed or neutered before adoption. In addition, Animal Control enforces a policy for the mandatory spaying or neutering of all adopted animals.
Tattoos provide positive and permanent identification for dogs and cats.
Tattoos are placed in the right ear and greatly facilitate the reuniting of owners and lost pets. The service is encouraged and is free of charge. No appointment is necessary. In the fall of each year, Animal Control holds two clinics to vaccinate animals against rabies. One clinic is held at Tanana Valley Fairgrounds, and the other is held at a designated rural outpost.
