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:
- Assisting other agencies such as the city's Police and Fire departments, and neighboring animal control agencies
- Capturing and transporting sick or injured wild animals to the Wildlife Care Center, where possible
- Educating pet owners on the health and welfare of their pets
- Helping citizens resolve nuisance problems such as complaints about barking dogs
- Impounding loose and stray animals
- Investigating dog bite complaints
- Rescuing animals from locked vehicles and abusive or negligent conditions
- Transporting stray injured animals to veterinarians for emergency care
Most importantly, we keep lost of pets safe and happy so they can be reunited with their owner or adopted into a new family.
