Adopt a pet
A pet owner's guide to adoption is a great resource to find a new companion. Learn more about pet adoption. Or, if you're ready, browse a list of available cats, dogs and other animals to start adding a pet to your family.
Buy a pet license online
Purchase, renew and update your pet license, online. Each year, pet licenses help reunite almost 2,000 lost cats and dogs with their families. Pet licenses are required by law.
Get help from Animal Control
Barking dogs and stray animals can be very disruptive to a neighborhood. Animal Control can help with a number of animal control problems, including barking dogs, animal rescues, animal cruelty, stray cats, and dog bites.
