Message from our Animal Control Officers: Hope everyone is staying indoors safe! The winds are going to get even stronger with some very heavy snow bands incoming! The weather can be disorienting for both humans and pets. So remember to watch your pets carefully, if they need to go out briefly. They may get themselves into trouble with the cold strong winds and blowing snow and become disoriented or even run away out of fear! If you see a dog outside and in trouble call Dispatch!
