Can Animal Services pick up a dead animal on the roadside?
A. Animal Services responds to requests to pick-up dead dogs and cats only. If the dead animal is a deer or elk, then please call Washington County Land Use & Transportation, Operations division to request a pick-up. If the dead animal is livestock (cow, horse, sheep) and in the road, then please call Washington County Land Use & Transportation. If the dead animal is a wild animal (coyote, opossum, skunk, etc.), then Animal Services will not pick-up the remains. Please call your local city’s public works department for assistance.
