Animal Control Officers

Tulare County is divided into three animal control districts with each officer covering one-third of the county. These three officers, Daniel, Paul, and Sal, cover the entire County six days a week. They handle calls for stray dogs, aggressive animals, injured animals, animal cruelty, owner surrenders, dog bites and any other emergency that comes up. They are constantly going from call to call. Their job can be very demanding at times, but it is also very rewarding. Besides normal working hours, the three officers rotate being on call for emergencies.
