Henry Cerqueira, Animal Control Officer

The Animal Control Officer is responsible for enforcing State Laws and local Ordinances pertaining to the welfare and control of domestic, exotic and wild animals. The Animal Control Officer is also considered the local Rabies Control Authority and handles many wild animals, which have been reported to be sick or injured.
We perform a variety of services that help animals as well as the public: rescuing injured or sick animals, controlling stray and potentially dangerous animals roaming at large, from private and public property and transporting lost pets to the animal shelter where their owners can reclaim them. Animals that bite are quarantined and placed under observation to make sure the threat of rabies does not exist. Other situations which we investigate are animal cruelty and abuse, complaints of animal noise annoyance, unsanitary conditions, and abandoned animals. If you are interested in adopting a pet, please call the business line and leave a message - we will return your call or check petfinder.
Our goal is to keep all owned animals confined to their property and to ensure animals are vaccinated and licensed.
