City of Gladstone Animal Control

While ordinance enforcement is the most visible part of an Animal Control Officers' job, animal care is by far the most time consuming. Homeless and unwanted animals are kenneled and provided veterinary care at the Gladstone Animal Shelter. The Officers work to successfully find the animals new homes by providing information and suggestions to make the best possible match between animal and owner. The animals are also given vaccinations, a physical exam and a spay or neuter before being adopted.
