Stray Dogs & Animal Welfare
Stray and loose dogs threaten livestock, pets, and children. We coordinate humane response and prevention.

Working with county animal services and rescues, residents can reduce stray populations through reporting, spay/neuter outreach, and responsible ownership.
Why It Matters
Protecting animals and people is part of being a responsible rural community.
What Residents Can Do
