Rawlins Animal Control works with the Rawlins Police Department under the direction of the Police Chief. Presently, there are two full time officers. Animal Control's responsibilities are to respond to all animal related calls including, but not limited to, picking up stray, at-large animals within the city limits, removing nuisances, assisting in pet care education, writing citations and testifying in court. Animal Control also assists Police Officers when animals need removed or restrained. Animal Control also operates and cares for the Rawlins-Rochelle Animal Shelter. At the Shelter, the ACOs take in surrendered and misplaced pets, either returning them to their owners or placing them up for adoption.
