Animal Control

Show or hide navigation More

A leashed dog stands in a grassy field

The Town of Kingsville offers animal services 24/7 related to animal care and control.  Animal Control services include:

  • Pick up of stray animals
  • Removal of dead wildlife on roads
  • Enforcement of leash requirements
  • Investigating animal welfare concerns
  • Responding to biting and aggressive dog concerns

All dogs are held at the municipal pound if they are picked up by the Animal Control Officer.  If the dog is not claimed within three (3) days, dogs are moved to St. Clair College for the adoption program.

If you suspect animal cruelty, you can report it to the Windsor Essex Humane Society at 519-966-5751.  Your complaint will be confidential and your name will be kept private in the investigation.

If you have a raccoon, skunk, opossum or other wild animal problem, the Animal Control Officer can provide more information on trapping.

To report animal control issues, please call our Animal Control Officer at 519-796-3013.
