I just moved to Vail, CO with my dog. Where can I find a good vet and the local animal care and control?
My neighbor lost her dog two days ago, and she has no idea what to do. Is local animal control the place she should go to report about her lost dog?
Call your local animal control office to report abuse.
At your local animal shelters, like AC&C (Animal Care and Control), the ASPCA (or RSPCA), or the Humane Society.
Yes, Phoenix does have an animal control department. It is the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. It helps to control the animals in Arizona especially Phoenix.
We have purchased a spaniel puppy and wish to learn how to look after it in every way. Are there places where we can go to have lessons in animal care and control?
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.
grab a local phonebook or search some online yellowpages for local humane societies, animal shelters, or animal care and control agencies. Local humane society shelters generally work pretty hard to get animals adopted rather than exterminated. You could also look for local places you could adopt a kitten from and ask them who to call. Local veterinarian offices likely would be able to tell you of possible shelters nearby (occasionally veterinarian offices will actually take in a stray or two themselves).
call the animal control and tell them about her
call animal control in your local city and they will take care of this problem for you don't handle it yourself leave it to a professional.
If your dog causes physical harm to another pet or human, it can be taken by officers. Also, if it is causing a disturbance to people, it can be subject to removal by authorities. Certainly if an animal is sick or injured and the owner is not taking care of it, officers can seize the creature. In any case, the animal has to be reported to be seized. Local ordinances are those that usually set the bounds for what can and cannot be done by animal control/police officers, and there are a lot of similarities. City and county codes and regulations as well as state mandates set the framework for the actions of officers assigned to animal control duties. Your local animal control officers or SPCA would probably be happy to discuss the particulars with you. Why not give them a call? Ask about adoptions, too.
It's best to call your local DNR representative or animal control. DNR would be the best route. Go to dnr.state."your state abbreviation".us
