For Animals

We work in partnership with an array of public and private organizations to care for lost animals, find homes for abandoned pets, license dogs, enforce animal cruelty laws and protect our citizens from dangerous animals.

We employ industry best practices in order to provide the most humane temporary shelter for companion animals.
