šŸ¾Animal Control Appreciation Week šŸ¾

This week, we recognize the men and women who serve our community on the front lines of animal welfare, often without recognition, but never without impact.

In 2025 alone, our Animal Control Officers:

ā€¢ Answered 3,582 calls for service
ā€¢ Conducted 472 welfare and cruelty investigations
ā€¢ Issued 380 warnings and citations
ā€¢ Picked up or assisted with 1,102 animals in need
ā€¢ Reunited 133 pets with their families in the field
ā€¢ And made contact with over 9,000 animals and people in our community

Let that sink in.

These arenā€™t just numbers. These are lives changed.

Every call answered could be a neglected animal getting relief.
Every investigation could be the moment something finally changes.
Every citation is accountability.
Every return to owner is a family made whole again.

What makes us especially proud is their commitment to humane investigations. This team handles a significant volume of cases year-round and works closely alongside local law enforcement to ensure both animals and people are protected.

Their job is not easy. It is not always seen. And it is very often thankless.

But their impact on the City of Montgomery is undeniable.

To our officers:

Thank you for showing up on the hardest days.

Thank you for standing in the gap.

Thank you for being the voice for those who donā€™t have one.
