Read stories of our officers rescuing wildlife, helping horses, and looking out for the welfare of pets.

Rescue Tails

Our Animal Control officers respond to hundreds of calls each month and go the extra mile to help animals in distress. Owls caught in soccer nets, ducklings down a drain pipe or fawns caught by floodwaters are all lucky to have these rescuers on their watch.
