Mission Statement The mission of the City of Hoover’s Animal Control Department is to serve and protect the animals and their coexistence with the public at large. Our desire is to provide a safe harbor for neglected or abused animals, educate the general public regarding the care of animals, and enforce state and local laws within our jurisdiction. The City of Hoover is a progressive City that continually seeks to improve the standard of living for its citizens, which includes all living creatures whether human or animal.What We Do The City of Hoover Animal Control Department does far more than caring for lost, injured and abandoned animals in our community. We provide a variety of services that protect both citizens and animals including: - Transporting stray injured animals to veterinarians for emergency care.
- Rescuing animals from locked vehicles and abusive or negligent conditions.
- Capturing and transporting sick or injured wild animals to the Wildlife Care Center, where possible.
- Impounding loose and stray animals.
- Helping citizens resolve nuisance problems such as complaints about barking dogs.
- Investigating dog bite complaints.
- Assisting other agencies such as the Police and Fire Department, and neighboring animal control agencies.
- Educating pet owners on the health and wellfare of their pets.
Most importantly, we keep lost of pets safe and happy so they can be reunited with their owner or adopted into a new family. |
