The Animal Services Department provides response for complaints concerning domestic animals, reptiles and livestock. The Animal Control Officers are responsible for impounding animals that are stray, quarantining animals which have bitten a person, and disposing of deceased animals. We only accept stray animals found inside Midlothian city limits. If you find an animal outside of the city, please contact the shelter for that area. This is the same for pet surrenders which are accepted by appointment only with limited availability.
