Animal Control

Animal Control

The Dacono Police Department strives to ensure that animals, their owners and neighbors live in safety and harmony. If all pet owners adhere to the basic responsibilities associated with owning a pet, most conflicts can be peacefully resolved.


Please do not allow your pet(s) to become a threat or nuisance in the community. Know and obey all animal laws. Make sure you have a secure enclosure so your pet will not run loose.

  • Know your responsibilities and the laws related to pets
  • A dog owner must ensure their dog does not bite, injure, chase, threaten, bark, howl at, or disturb anyone
  • Cats should be kept inside but at a minimum should be confined to their owners’ property.
