Animal Services
Your Animal Care and Control Officer
There is a person in your community who works to protect stray, injured, abused and unwanted animals.
This person also helps the public deal with problems caused by animals. I am your local animal care and control
professional. I’m the one who responds to calls about neglected or lost animals, and I’m often the first person
to provide comfort and compassion to animals in need.
Long gone is the term "Dogcatcher". Animal care and control professionals now perform a variety of services that help animals as well as people; rescuing injured
animals, controlling stray and potentially dangerous animals roaming at large, bringing lost pets to the shelter
where owners can reclaim them.
Davis County Animal Care and Control is excited to announce the newest member of our Team "Harry."
Harry is a male Wirehaired mix that came to the shelter as a stray. Attempts to re-locate Harry with his
Family were un-successful. Harry’s calm demeanor and friendly disposition has earned him the rank of
"educational dog."
Harry is available to accompany the educational officer to schools for presentations.
Please call Tracy Gross at (801) 444-2200 if you are interested in having “Harry” come to your school.

Provide For Your Pet's Safety
Keep a collar, ID tags, and a current County license on your pet at all times and ensure that your pet is supervised
or safely confined when you are not at home.
Spay or neuter your pet and keep him or her current on all
necessary vaccinations, especially the rabies vaccination.
Adoption Day
Davis County Animal services teamed up with No more homeless pets along with several different local shelters and animal rescue organizations on May 1st, 2nd and 3rd for the spring Super Adoption.
Even though the weather was wet and cold, along with a bad economy 427 animals were placed in new homes. Davis County placed 21 animals.
We were thrilled with the Spring adoption and want to thank everyone that participated.
Education Information
Davis County Animal Care and Control employs a full time education officer whose services are in constant demand.
Informative programs are offered from preschool to High school, covering topics from all about animal care and control,
basic pet care and preparation tips for you and your pet in a disaster situation. Real animals are often taken along
on these presentations to give students firsthand knowledge of the special needs of domestic pets.
An education officer is also available for presentations after our normal operating hours.
If you are interested in having a presentation, please contact Tracy Gross at 444-2200 Ext 2219 for further information.
