Animal Control refers to the management and regulation of domestic and wild animals within a community. This service is responsible for ensuring public safety by handling issues related to stray animals, animal bites, and potential threats posed by wildlife. They also enforce local laws regarding pet ownership, such as licensing and vaccination requirements. In addition to responding to emergencies, Animal Control agencies often provide education on responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. They may also facilitate the adoption of stray or abandoned animals, working with local shelters to find homes for pets in need.
