Our Services

  • Pick-up

    As part of our animal control service contracts with cities in MN & WI, every year we help hundreds of stray & abandoned animals. We drive to locations animals are found, often by Good Samaritans, and transport animals to a partnering vet clinic/impound facility. Animals receive the care and attention they need in a comfortable environment while we look for their owner.

  • Placement

    For animals that have completed the state required stray hold or have been surrendered, we partner with local 501c3 rescues to find animals new adoptive homes. Animals are transported to volunteer foster homes, where they receive veterinary care and behavioral support while they begin searching for a new adoptive home.

  • Protection

    Companion Animal Care & Control responds to complaints and conducts enforcement for violations of animal ordinances & statutes while also working closely with local law enforcement. When appropriate, we focus on educating owners regarding the welfare of animals.
