Animal Control

The Humane Society of Camden County houses animals that are stray or lost but do not pick up the animals. This is the responsibility of the Animal Control Officers who are trained in this function and are available to assist you.

If you see a stray, it is best not to try to capture the animal yourself. We highly recommend that you contact Animal Control at the numbers listed below.

If you think that an animal is being neglected, call the Animal Control number. Give as much information as possible including your name and number in case there are any questions. The animal control officers will attempt to keep this information confidential. If there is legal action taken, they may need to have you testify. Even if you are not sure if an animal is being neglected, call and leave the information. The animal control officers have been trained to conduct an evaluation and make the determination.

If you see a seriously injured animal or an animal being actively abused, call 911.
