Animal Control

City Ordinance requires that both canine and felines be licensed yearly for $2.00. In order to obtain a license you will need to bring proof of current rabies vaccination to City Hall. Renewal date for this license is June of each year. City Tags are a great way to insure your pets safe return to your home. More information on City Ordinances related to animals is available here: Animal Control Related Ordinances.
Animal Control is a function of the police department. If you have a loose or stray animal in your neighborhood that is creating a problem for you or other residents call the non-emergency dispatch number at (417) 345-1999.
If you are wanting to get rid of a pet you no longer want, please contact a local rescue group. A current list of contacts is available at City Hall.
