Animal Control
About Animal Control
The City of Monroe Animal Control division serves to educate the public on responsible pet ownership and enforce local animal ordinances. Our Community Service Officer performs various services for both animals and the community, including rescuing injured or sick pets, managing stray and potentially dangerous animals, and transporting lost pets.
The Community Service Officer also plays a crucial role in conducting investigations. These investigations determine whether animals involved in biting incidents should be deemed dangerous or potentially dangerous. If a biting animal is not up to date on rabies vaccinations, it undergoes quarantine and observation to ensure the absence of rabies. Other investigations cover issues such as animal cruelty, abuse, complaints about animal noise, unsanitary conditions, and abandoned animals.
