Arvada Animal Management Officers
Arvada Animal Management officers are highly trained and experience professionals. They are State-certified through the Colorado Association of Animal Control Officers, and through the Department of Agriculture.
Additionally, three of the officers are commissioned through the Board of Animal Protection.
This staff responds to animal-related complaints and promotes responsible pet ownership through enforcement, mediation, and education. They also work close with Table Mountain Animal Center for the welfare of lost and stray pets.
The Animal Management Unit works diligently to ensure pets are either returned to their owner or adopted.
The Animal Management Unit is proud of the fact that for the past several years, the return and/or adoption rate of pets has been more than 90%.
