If the dog is posing a public threat, such as an aggressive animal, call Animal Services at 925-779-6989 during regular business hours. After hours call the Non-Emergency Police number, 925-778-2441 and an Animal Control Officer will be dispatched if the animal is aggressive. (There is an officer on call before and after regular business hours.)
If the dog is not posing a public threat, you may report it to the Shelter. However, due to higher priority calls, our Animal Control Officers may not be able to find and impound the dog. On the weekend, the Animal Control Officers only respond to urgent calls. Although a report will be taken by our front desk staff, it will not be handled immediately.
