Celebrate Animal Control Appreciation Week, April 11-17

Celebrate National Animal Control Appreciation Week, April 11-17, by recognizing your local animal care and control officers. In collaboration with the National Animal Control Association, the City of Naperville assists in promoting and continuing the advancement of professionalism within animal control.

Throughout the United States, animal control officers have more one-on-one contact with the public than any other (public) safety employee and risk injury every day.

Our mission is to provide safe, humane shelter for stray, abused, and impounded animals in accordance with local and state regulations. The unit strives to protect the public's health and safety from dangerous, sick, or injured animals and educate the public on proper pet care, animal safety, pet overpopulation and responsible pet ownership.

Naperville Animal Control services include animal bites, neglect and cruelty, license sales, loose animals, barking complaints, and neighborhood issues.
