Report an Animal Control Issue

Goal

The goal of Animal Management is to serve and protect the pets and the people of Adams County through the enforcement of state statutes and county ordinances as they pertain to the care and welfare of domestic animals. We seek to educate and engage our residents in the practices of responsible pet ownership.

Report an Animal Control Issue

Adams County Animal Management Officers respond to and handle a variety of animal-control calls, including animal bite or attack, vicious or dangerous dog, stray animals, animal neglect or abuse, and unreasonable animal noise (barking, howling, etc.).

To report a pet-animal complaint, please contact the Adams County Communications Center (ADCOM) at 303.288.1535.

If you need assistance with livestock (including horses and cattle), please contact the Adams County Sheriff’s Department (303.288.1535), State Brand Inspector (303.869.9160), or the Department of Agriculture (303.869.9000).
