The purpose of Animal Welfare is to enforce city animal ordinances and educate the public regarding proper pet ownership. There are a variety of services that Animal Welfare provides for the Shawnee community: rescuing sick or injured animals, controlling stray animals, responding to dangerous animals roaming at large, removing dead animals, licensing, investigating animal cruelty and abuse, complaints of animal noise, unsanitary conditions, and abandonment. One of the most important aspects of Animal Welfare is responding to dog bites. Animals that bite are found, quarantined, and placed under observation for the threat of rabies.
Additional Pet Information: In honor of the late Dr. Wes Beck, Ward 4 City Commissioner,
