Domestic animals enrich the lives of many Clark County residents. However, if not cared for properly, these animals can also be disruptive to a neighborhood. Animal Protection and Control can help resolve animal control problems such as stray or vicious animals, noise complaints and reports of animal cruelty.
Our Animal Protection and Control Division protects the safety and well-being of people and animals by:
- Enforcing local animal control laws related to licensing and vaccination requirements, loose and/or vicious animals, animal cruelty and nuisances.
- Responding to citizen complaints to resolve animal code violations.
- Encourages cooperation between animal owners and their neighbors.
- Providing emergency transportation and shelter for stray, injured and abandoned animals.
- Promoting responsible pet ownership through pet management (wmv video), pet licensing and spay and neuter education.
- Providing dog bite prevention training to children and community groups.
- Providing public safety and community livability through an increased animal control presence.
Our Animal Protection and Control Advisory Board assists in developing policy and procedures for the delivery of animal control services.
