Animal problem: who to call
Pick your state: pick your state and the problem (stray dog, wild animal inside, bite, injured wildlife, dead animal, cruelty) to see which office usually handles it, with official links.
Choose a state to see the rules we verified and official links. Or search your city, county or ZIP.
How to use it
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.
