Wednesday

The Animal Services Department routinely patrols the city to ensure the safety of citizens and to see that animals in the area are treated humanely. The animals in our facility are either brought in by a citizen or are rescued by an Animal Services Officer.  The animals are inspected by the officer to determine the age, healthiness, and demeanor of the animal.  The mission of the Animal Services Department is to find a home for each animal that is rescued and to make sure the match is suitable for both the family and the animal.

Citizens who feel they are no longer able to care for their pets may turn them in to an Animal Service Officer for a $10.00 fee.  The animals are accepted provided there is ample room in the Animal Shelter to provide adequate space for the animal.  Owner released animals are immediately available for adoption once they have been monitored by an Animal Services Officer.  Animals that are rescued by an Officer or a citizen are available for adoption after 72 hours.

Animals housed in the Animal Services Facility may be adopted for an $80 fee.  The adoptee will receive a voucher to take to a veterinarian of their choice, to perform a spay/neuter procedure and to provide a rabies vaccination for the pet.
