How our tools work

The tool matches a problem type and location to the office that usually handles that kind of report. Results are meant to save time and send you to the official source for confirmation.

Choose the problem first if you are not sure which agency to call. A stray dog, a wild animal in the house, a bite report and injured wildlife often go to different offices, even in the same county.

Use the result as a starting point, then open the official link and confirm hours, coverage area and after-hours instructions. City, county and state roles can overlap, especially for wildlife, rabies and cruelty cases.

Nothing you type into a tool is saved on our servers unless the tool says so. Letter builders and checklists run entirely in your browser.
