What is the difference between Animal Control and the Humane Society?
Animal Control is a government agency charged with enforcing the state laws and county ordinances pertaining to domestic animals. We provide a shelter for stray and seized animals. Animal Control evacuates and shelters animals during large scale emergencies.

Humane Society is a non profit organization that is funded by donations and grants. They have a limited entry shelter that accepts surrendered animals from the public. They also transfer some animals from the Animal Control shelter to their facility. The Humane Society provides spay/neuter assistance and humane education. Their phone number is 984-5489.

Both Animal Control and the Humane Society have animals available for adoption.
