To ensure that a Dog Control Officer is available, it is best to call to make an appointment before coming into the offices.
Any emergency calls should be directed to 786-2941 and the call will be forwarded to the DCO. He will respond to found dog calls if the dog is contained, an injured dog with an unknown owner, and a dog bites where the dog is not with the owner.
After normal office hours until 10:00 pm If the call is an EMERGENCY (defined as Dog Bites when the owner of the dog is unknown, injured dogs when the owner is unknown, or found dogs if the dog is CONTAINED), call 786-2941 and leave a message. This will page the Dog Control Officer on call.
