The Animal Control Section consists of certified animal control officers. They are
responsible for responding to all incoming calls of lost, stray, vicious, and injured animals.
While most of the calls are for domestic animals, there are calls from time to time for animals running of a more exotic nature. There have even been a few calls for cows, horses, pigs, and turkeys. The animal control officers patrol the city enforcing City ordinances and State laws related to animal control. The animal control officers also participate in the community by providing animal safety talks to children throughout the city.
