  • If your answer is not found online by clicking on one of the icons below, please call our dispatch office at (505)852-2757. All calls will be handled on a priority basis.
  • Animal control field service in Ohkay Owingeh is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, with only one officer responding.

Top priority calls (that will also be responded to with after-hours emergency service) include:

  • Dangerous/vicious animals that may cause immediate harm to a human or another animal;
  • Assisting other law enforcement personnel (police/fire) with cases involving animals;
  • Injured/abused domestic animals needing urgent medical care or rescue; and
  • Specific wild animals prone to carrying rabies (including, but not limited to: bats, raccoons and skunks) exhibiting unnatural behaviors that may pose a threat to public safety and have come into contact with a domestic animal or human.
  • While we certainly understand an animal’s excessive barking, trespassing or relieving its waste on your property or a public walkway, or being exercised off-leash by its owner or caretaker can be frustrating at times, please note that calls of this nature fall lower on our priority list. We will follow up with you at our earliest convenience and appreciate your patience and support.

When contacting our dispatch office, please have the following information available:

  • The day, time and location where the incident occurred;
  • Description of the incident – please describe what occurred and what animals/humans were involved, if applicable;
  • A description of the animal you are reporting (if known: breed, color, approximate size);
  • The address where the animal resides, if known; and
  • The owner’s name, address and telephone number, if known.
