The Animal Control Division enforces all State and County regulations regarding specific domestic animals. Officers provide services from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Emergencies are handled on a case-by-case basis during other hours.
All dogs must be vaccinated against rabies and licensed by four months of age. Annual licenses, issued by the County Treasurer's Office, are $10 for female feral dogs and $4 for male and spayed dogs. A statement from a certified veterinarian indicating that the animal has been spayed must be presented to receive the discounted rate for female dogs. A certificate of current rabies inoculation is required before a license can be issued.
Stray domestic animals picked up by the Animal Control Division are taken to the Animal Shelter on 220 South. Animals who have no known owner can be adopted for a fee of $10. The shelter is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and on Wednesday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to noon.
