We know that not every dog or cat lover will get their next pet from a shelter.  Besides shelters, people obtain pets from many sources – pets being re-homed by family, neighbors and friends; puppies and kittens from unplanned litters; pet stores; farm auctions; flea markets; newspaper ads; fliers posted in public places and breeders.

     While many pets obtained from any one of these sources live wonderful lives and are well loved far too many end up again needing new homes or, worse, living lives of neglect or misery with owners who have lost all interest in them.  

The Humane Society of Elmore County is a sheltering agency for animals from within Elmore County.  The responsibility for picking up animals, dealing with animal complaints and investigating cruelty/neglect cases falls upon the respective Animal Control Officers in each city and the county.         

     If you are in need of animal control assistance for a stray or problem animal, or to report instances of animal neglect or cruelty, you will need to contact the appropriate officer noted below.
