The Public Health Department is pleased that Butte County voters have shown strong
support far animal control services. In keeping with that support, the Department is
committed to providing the maximum services passible within available resources.
Requests for animal control services have been high and over the last year considerable
progress was made to address animal control issues that have developed during a seven
(7) year hiatus of services. The program still faces major challenges such as inadequate
sheltering capacity and hours of service coverage. These challenges must be addressed
to accommodate the public's expectations and demand far services. Return of Animal
Control to a forty (40) hour workweek effective November 1, 1997 will significantly increase
our service hours.
