City of Clovis Animal Control falls under the authority of the Clovis Police Department.  Animal Control is charged with the responsibility of enforcing city ordinances, as they relate to animals.  Animal Control provides around the clock service seven days a week. These officers patrol assigned areas and look for loose, stray, or endangered animals.  Our team of Animal Control Officers strives to provide effective and efficient service to the public by ensuring the safety and well-being of persons and animals within our community.
