Brooklyn & Parma Hts Animal Control Love animals? 🐾 Get the latest Animal Control updates from the cities of Brooklyn and Parma Heights! Hours listed are when our Kennel is open to the public!

Brooklyn & Parma Heights Animal Control serves the cities of Brooklyn and Parma Heights. The City of Parma and the "Old Brooklyn" area of Cleveland are covered by their own respective agencies. We have one full-time Animal Control Officer, a part-time Kennel Manager, and a small cadre of Volunteers. The hours listed on our page are when the kennel at 8000 Memphis Avenue in Brooklyn is open to the public. Our new facility opened in 2023 and is built into the Brooklyn City Hall, however, we have a separate entrance west of the main entrance. Our driveway is directly across the street from the St. Elias Church, and we have a small parking area adjacent to the exterior portion of the dog kennels you will be able to see once you turn in our driveway. The double doors there are the main entrance to our facility. We usually have adoptable cats on site, but check our page to see exactly who might be available for adoption. Most dogs which come into our care as strays are transferred to the Cuyahoga County Animal shelter if they go unclaimed by their owners. If you need assistance or have animal related questions it is best to call our main number of 216-635-4291 and leave a message, keeping in mind that our Animal Control Officer works weekdays on day shift. If you have an immediate need related to an animal emergency, regardless of the day/time, you can call the appropriate seven-digit non-emergency number to reach Dispatch to report the animal emergency. Brooklyn Police Department: 216-749-1234
Parma Heights Police Department: 440-885-1234
After hours and when the Animal Control Officer is off-duty a Police Officer may be able to respond to assess the situation. For ongoing issues including complaints regarding the feeding of wildlife, non-priority welfare check requests, and habitually loose dogs not occurring at the time of the call, it's best to leave us a message at our main number of 216-635-4291. One question we always get is in regards to trapping/removing urban wildlife. That service is not something we can legally provide, instead you have to conact a licensed trapper for assistance. They can also hopefully advise on how to prevent the animals from coming back, and in the case of animals getting into a structure, can repair the access point to prevent it from happening again in the future.

Talk about a ssspooky call for service! Way to go Cleveland Animal Care & Control  ! 🐍

Talk about a ssspooky call for service! Way to go Cleveland Animal Care & Control ! 🐍

🐍🎃 Well, this might be one of the more unexpected Halloween surprises!

On Halloween night, our officers got called in about an 8-FOOT SNAKE after receiving a rather unusual call for service.

Our caller got quite the surprise when a snake literally fell through their ceiling from an abandoned upstairs unit! Talk about a Halloween scare! 😳

Thankfully, our officers were able to respond and safely secure the 8-foot python!!!!!

Our officers safely contained and transported the snake, and it's now secure and in good hands.

This is your friendly reminder:

ACOs respond to all kinds of animals - domestic, wildlife, and exotic.
Pythons and other exotics should never be released - it's unsafe for them, for native wildlife, and for the public.
If you see an unusual animal, don't try to catch it yourself. Call Animal Control right away.
Great job to our ACOs for a safe, professional pickup — no tricks, all treat!

Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃 Here are some pet safety reminders:

Chocolate and some sugar substitutes (especially xylitol) are toxic to pets! Make sure your trick or treating handouts are secured away from where a curious pet may be able to access them.

Some pets may do better than others with a constant stream of trick or treaters coming to your door. To prevent accidental escape or unintentional bites it might be best to secure your pet(s) in another room, preferably with another family member, or you can try playing some pet friendly videos on a TV for them if no other family members are available.

If you are concerned that your pet has accidentally ingested something, be it chocolate or part of a costume or decoration, MedVet Cleveland is our nearest 24/7 Emergency Veterinary Clinic. They’re located on Emerald Parkway in Cleveland, near the Grayton Road/I-480 intersection. Their phone number is 216-362-6000.

We hope you have a safe and Happy Halloween! 🎃🍭👻🍫

Parma Heights – Trap, Neuter, Return UPDATE!

That’s a wrap for 2026! We trapped at a total of 22 different properties in Parma Heights and had a grand total of 12 surgeries from the Program! We also had several additional properties reach out right when the program ended for 2026.

We certainly recognize this service is a need for our community and intend to implement it again in 2027! Our first year has taught us much about what we can realistically offer, and the hands-on service of 2026 will be adjusted for 2027.

Initially, a volunteer team was orchestrated to assist, but unfortunately when the program began, that anticipated support was no longer available. As a result, the entirety of the program was then placed on a single staff member. This was not the structure under which the program was designed, nor is it a sustainable model given the departments existing workload and call volume.

In 2027, we will be adjusting from our original pilot version of this program. These changes will bring us more in line with how other communities who also offer this service operate their TNR programs.

In 2027, BPHAC will provide traps, bait if requested, and TNR vouchers, while renters will be responsible for safely trapping the cats and arranging transportation to and from the participating veterinary provider. BPHAC will not pick up, transport, or house any community cats at our facility.

With these adjustments in mind, and the great response for need we received in 2026, we are working to extend the amount of time traps are available to rent and increase surgery appointment availability from one day a week, to two.

We appreciate everyone who has supported the effort and understand that community involvement is essential to making TNR successful. The goal of this restructuring is to create a TNR model that is sustainable, responsible, and better suited to the resources available to our department.

UPDATE: What an amazing weekend! First off, thank you to everyone who came out to see the kittens; and we even adopted out two of our adult cats! At this time all the kittens are spoken for and those persons whose applications were approved for the kittens have all been notified. If you haven't heard back from us, we are truly sorry, but encourage you to reach out to or visit the numerous other shelters in our area, there are lots more cats and kittens who need homes. This was, by far, the largest amount of interest we had in kittens in our care and there simply weren't enough kittens to go around to everyone who applied, but thank you, thank you, thank you!
