Animal Services is conducting business by appointment Monday-Wednesday, Friday 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Thursday 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM.
All adoptions and owner-surrendered animals are scheduled by appointment only. Adoption consultations are conducted first either virtually or by phone, with an in-person follow up meeting and pick up.
We are limiting the number of people in the building at one time and ask that if you are un-vaccinated, you please wear a mask.
Intake of a stray animal does not require an appointment, but finders are encouraged to call ahead for procedural guidance. For additional information, call 630-407-2800.
