Trapped wildlife? Surprise hamster babies? Distressed dog? Animal Control can help.

Step inside the Animal Care and Control facility on Bryant Street and you may be greeted by an enthusiastic adoptable dog. A little farther behind the scenes, officers are handling animals in distress, unexpected wildlife and pets that must be surrendered. Meet the voice behind the popular “Officer Edith” Twitter account and learn how animal control staff educate, cite and support human residents and their animal neighbors.
