Dog Licenses

Urban Chicken Permit Application

Certified Animal Control Officers work with the community to identify animals in distress, at risk, or who are a disturbance. It is the goal of the animal control division to return animals to their owners in all appropriate cases or to move animals to a safe shelter environment.

Pottawattamie County Animal Control upholds the County regulations for licensing animals, investigates complaints, and works to ensure the safety of the public – and your pets – from communicable diseases and dangerous strays.

We investigate:

  • Stray animals
  • Bite incidents
  • Rabies symptoms
  • Neglect or Abuse

County Code

Animal control is outlined in Pottawattamie County Code Chapter 3.50.
