Animal Control

Animal Control officers enforce County regulations on fowl, poultry, livestock and dangerous animals, including checking for animal licenses and dog tags and controlling stray animals. They also investigate animal cruelty, abuse and bite/rabies cases. They also investigate complaints of threatening/aggressive animals. Animal Control does not handle non-domesticated animals, such as deer, raccoons, skunks, rodents, or reptiles. A qualified pest control business or the Virginia Conservation Police—in cases of big game animals—should be contacted.
