Animal Control involves the humane capture of loose animals, enforcement of state and county laws pertaining to animals. The shelter provides a safe haven for those animals who no longer have homes such as those that are strays, runaways, and those seized due to inhumane treatment or cruelty investigations. The shelter also provides the necessary veterinary treatments and social interactions to get them on their way to getting a new owner.
