How do I get help with an animal problem at night, on weekends, or on holidays?
The Animal Control Unit is staffed seven days a week from approximately 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM except for government observed holidays and vacations. We have an officer available for animal emergencies during these times. We consider it an emergency when: An animal has bitten someone An animal is trapped, injured or otherwise in serious danger Wildlife has wandered indoors An animal is loose on the Interstate, county road or on a major street Other situations in which an animal is in distress or a human being is in danger of being harmed by the animal. Barking dogs, stray cats, and raccoons in your garbage can are not emergency situations. Please notify us of these situations during regular business hours. If your problem is an emergency, call the communications center at 303-621-2030 or dial 911 and they will alert the Animal Control Officer or Patrol Deputy on duty.
