We service the unincorporated areas of Siskiyou County for domestic animal control and sheltering. As part of law enforcement it is our duty and privilege to serve the people and animals of Siskiyou County. Animal Control’s purpose is to ensure the health and safety o

f the county residents and animal populations. We support the spaying and neutering of dogs and cats to help prevent animal over population in Siskiyou County, thus increasing the likelihood that more animals will have lifelong homes. Animal Control has endeavored to adopt a no kill philosophy and has increased the live release rate at our shelter to more than 90%! The majority of animals entering our facility are either redeemed by owners, sent to partner rescues, or adopted into new and loving homes.

⭐Public Information Statement: Understanding the Role of Animal Control and Our Community Responsibility⭐

Siskiyou County Animal Control Officers serve an essential role in protecting both public safety and animal welfare. Two full time Officers and one part time Officer are responsible for over 6,000 square miles of the unincorporated area of the County. Part of their duty includes responding to reports of stray, abandoned, sick, and injured dogs as well as severe neglect and abuse cases. These officers work daily to provide care, shelter, and, whenever possible, reunification or rehoming for the animals in their custody.

However, due to increasing numbers of stray and unwanted dogs, Animal Control agencies across many communities are facing overwhelming challenges. Unlike rescues, municipalities don't get to pick and choose what they intake. In recent years, limited access to spay and neuter services, along with the rise of irresponsible backyard breeding, has contributed significantly to this growing population. Being a no kill is a privilege and an honor, but for a municipality it sometimes isn't a reality. Our agency has held a no kill status for over 10 years thanks to rescue partners, but that status is in jeopardy due to space issues across all organizations.

When resources, space, and medical options are exhausted, Animal Control Officers are sometimes faced with the difficult and emotional responsibility of humane euthanasia. This is never done lightly. These are often animals the officers have spent time caring for and, in many cases, form bonds with. The decision is based on necessity, not choice. These officers carry heavy burdens from the atrocities that they see and the animals that they themselves sometimes have to euthanize.

This is not simply an Animal Control issue—it is a community issue. Reducing the number of unwanted animals requires collective action.

We ask for your help:
• Spay and neuter your pets to prevent unplanned litters
• Avoid supporting or engaging in irresponsible breeding practices
• Consider adoption from local shelters
• Support local animal welfare organizations

If you are able, please consider donating to local spay and neuter programs. These services are one of the most effective ways to reduce shelter overcrowding and prevent unnecessary euthanasia.

Together, we can create a more compassionate and responsible community for animals and the people who care for them.
