- What do I do if I'm missing
my pet?
Animal
Control will contact you if your animal is tagged or
microchipped. If your animal is not tagged or chipped you
will need to call (573) 883-3665 or come by the lobby of the Sheriff's Office.
Inform the secretary or a Deputy you need to view the animals in
the kennel because you are missing your pet. You will be
escorted to the kennel where you may check for your pet.
- How do I reclaim my pet?
You must
show proof of ownership such as pictures, vet bills, etc. before
the animal will be released back to you. There is a
mandatory $7.00 per day kennel fee that must be paid when you
pick up your pet from the kennel.
- What do I do about a stray?
Call (573)
883-5215 to report a stray. Either Animal Control or
another officer will assist you.
- Can I bring my pet to the
kennel while I am out of town?
No.
We are not a boarding kennel. We are animal control.
Our mission is to give strays a second chance at life in a
non-abusive home.
- Will animal control accept an
animal I no longer want for adoption?
No.
We are not a Human Society. It is your responsibility to
find a new home for your animal. There are Human Society's
in St. Louis and Farmington that may be able to help you.
