Animal Care and Control Agencies

Animal Care and Control Agencies are local government organizations responsible for overseeing the welfare of animals within a community. They handle tasks such as rescuing stray or lost animals, enforcing animal licensing and cruelty laws, and promoting responsible pet ownership. These agencies also facilitate the humane treatment of animals, provide shelter and medical care for those in need, and often work to reunite lost pets with their owners. Their goal is to ensure public safety and improve animal well-being by managing and regulating pet populations and addressing issues related to stray and mistreated animals.
