If you have contacted Animal Control but they have not responded, you can call the police and perhaps they can contact Animal Control for you, or tell the police that Animal Control hasn't come out to take care of the dog.
Call the animal pound, animal control, or something like that to ask for help.
Dog catcher, animal control officer....
No, it's unheard of for animal control agencies to charge those who call to pick up a stray animal. No charge. They are paid by tax dollars to protect the public from animals. However you may want to call a rescue group instead of animal control to give the animal a fighting chance to find a home.
There are stray dogs around my house. I need to find the local animal control. What would they be listed under in the phonebook?
Actually, all people should be responsible for stray animals. If there is one in your area, call the nearest animal control to pick up the animal. It is better for all that this animal is taken care of properly. Since the HOA is responsible for maintaining the quality of life in the community it may be responsible for the removal of stray animals or for notifying a member if their pet is often running around loose. You could contact the association board or manager to report a stray or an unsupervised animal. However, reporting it to the local animal control may provide quicker results.
there is not an animal control center in Fernley, the City contracts with the County to house stray dogs and some other services regarding domestic animals.
In Seattle, Washington, there are more than 100 stray animals. If they are found, the animal control will put them to sleep for the rest of their life until they die. =(
Stray cats can be dangerous due to the possibility of carrying diseases from hunting. To stop a stray cat from coming in the home through a cat flap with the intention of spraying in the house, it is best to contact animal control to remove the animal.
Without knowing your location I cannot help you find your local Animal Control Service. You should be able to look in your local phone book and find the number however.
There should be an animal Control center in your Town/county. Call them and have the dog picked up. Or ASPCA.
A stray animal.
A stray animal is any animal which normally found in a certain place has been moved or moved itself to a different place. (Usually a stray animal is one that is not wanted in the new place in which it has now been found.)
