The Animal Services program serves the citizens of Wichita with animal control, rabies control, and leash law enforcement services. In addition, the department provides the entire Sedgwick County area with animal bite investigations and quarantines biting animals.
The department operates the only full service public sector animal shelter in Sedgwick County, and provides animal sheltering services to all of Sedgwick County. We also provide services to area veterinarian clinics and support to the Wichita Police Department, Sedgwick County Animal Control, and various other cities and agencies within Sedgwick County as needed.
Our services include:
- Pick up of stray, sick, injured, and unwanted animals.
- Dead animal pickup.
- Animal bite investigations.
- Live animal traps.
- Animal cruelty and neglect investigations.
We also provide public information presentations about our department and its services, tours of the Wichita Animal Shelter, and an officer "ride along" program. These services require prior arrangement with the department. You can contact us by telephone at (316) 268-8378.
