What is an emergency?

During the after hours period, Animal Protection Officers only respond on an emergency basis. The following is a guideline as to what constitutes an emergency. Officers will use their discretion on a case-by-case basis.

Emergency

  • Injured or sick animal (cat, dog, wildlife, etc.)
  • Animals believed to be orphaned
  • A situation where an animal is posing a risk to public safety

Non-Emergency

  • Observing a stray animal that is not contained
  • Deceased animals
  • Wildlife sightings
    Non-emergency calls will be handled during regular business hours.
    If your situation changes, you can always contact the after hours service for advice.
