Your neighbor’s dog barks all night. Maybe there’s a pack of strays roaming your neighborhood. Or is some pooch digging up your petunias?
If you live in unincorporated Clallam County, tell it to the Sheriff’s Department.
The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society’s contract for animal control expired at midnight, and by mutual consent the duty passed to the sheriff today.
That means calling 360-417-2259 with your animal complaint.
“We hope that with the sheriff taking back animal control, we will have a better working relationship with the Humane Society,” Alice Hoffman, chief administrative deputy, told county commissioners at their weekly work session Monday.
Commissioners will approve the changeover at their formal meeting that starts at 10 a.m. today in the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St.
The society will continue to shelter animals — including those picked up by the sheriff’s animal control officers — and offer them for adoption.
