Need Animal Control? Call us.
Immediate danger to a person?
Call 911 for an immediate emergency. Use the campus or after-hours Animal Control numbers for animal-related assistance.
When to use the after-hours number
The published emergency list includes injured animals, bites involving people or animals, dangerous-dog concerns, cruelty, law-enforcement requests, and wildlife inside a home. A wild animal outside on the property alone is not listed as an after-hours emergency. Explain the situation and exact location when you call.
Lost & found animals
Missing a pet?
Call with a recent photo, description, and last-known location. Share a microchip number if available.
Found an animal?
Report the location and description. Ask the team about safe handling, scanning, and next steps.
Cruelty & neglect concerns
Call to report suspected abuse or neglect. Provide the location, what you observed, and when it happened. Leave investigation and enforcement to Animal Control officers.
Pet licenses & nuisance complaints
For licensing, renewal, or tag questions, visit the license guide. For nuisance concerns, call with the location and a description.
Wildlife, community cats & bites
Contact Animal Control about wildlife or animals in distress. Seek medical care promptly if a person is bitten, and report the incident. For community-cat surgery, coordinate with the clinic.
