NATIONAL NIGHT OUT- Snohomish County Animal Services

This is the last in the series about organizations that offer help to the public that attended the National Night Out festivities at Willis Tucker Park on August 6, 2019.

From time to time, you might have an issue with an animal that is someone’s pet or someone’s livestock in your neighborhood. Snohomish County Animal Services handles issues regarding animals such as cats, dogs and livestock. Organizationally located within the Auditor’s Office, Animal Services can help you with acquiring a pet license, pet complaints and found or lost pets and livestock.

Its mission is “to promote and protect the health, safety and welfare of animals and people in our community.”

Its website gives guidance about pet licenses, animal complaints, barking dog complaints, lost and found pets and livestock and other animal related subjects.

Animal Services concentrates its efforts on domesticated animals. However, you may encounter wild animals such as bears, coyotes, deer, raccoons, anywhere in Snohomish County. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is the place to go for information about wild animals, fishing, and hunting.

Its website offers a series of webpages that provide information on “Living with Wildlife.” Subjects include nuisance wildlife, injured or orphaned wildlife, dangerous wildlife, and feeding wildlife. You can find this webpage at https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/living

If you need to talk to someone from WDFW you can contact its North Puget Sound region office in Mill Creek, https://wdfw.wa.gov/places-to-go/weekender/north-puget-sound.
