Lost Pets
The Animal Control Division (Animal Control)
collects animals by various methods. All animals will
be treated humanely, will be provided with the best living
conditions possible within available resources, will
be given the best chance for adoptions and if necessary,
euthanized according to generally accepted practice.
Every effort will be made to reunite owners and animals
if enough information exists to do so.
