Animal Services enforces city ordinances as well as county, state, and federal animal-related regulations.
Investigations
Animal Services Officers conduct investigations into animal bite cases, animal attacks and animal cruelty.

Living with Wildlife
Development of land is pushing our wild neighbors out of once green and open spaces closer to our neighborhoods. Wildlife is finding the means to adapt and thrive closer and closer to cities. Animal Services plays a role in increasing people's understanding and enjoyment of our wild neighbors and promoting a safe coexistence of both our citizens and urban wildlife.
