Babylon Animal Shelter

The Town of Babylon covers 53 square miles and is serviced by 2 Animal Control Officers who enforce Article 7 of the Agriculture and Markets Law of New York State and the Local Laws and Ordinances of the Town of Babylon. Our staff and ACO’s in the office handle complaints from residents and dispatch many calls per year to the Animal Control Officers. There are several adoption staff members to care for the animals which enter the shelter each year. The adoption staff members also assist the public to adopt and redeem dogs. There is an adoption rate of over 80%. Office staff consists of clerical staff who handle the daily transactions for redemptions and adoptions as well as other office duties. The shelter is under the direct charge of the animal shelter director who administers the operation of the shelter.
