CARSON (CNS) - The city of Carson will assume responsibility for all field service calls related to animal service and safety starting Monday.
These duties have been performed by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control.
The city has a new animal control officer who will respond to calls including animal neglect, barking dog complaints, nuisance animals, stray animals, wild animals, dead animal removal, surrendered animals and found animals, officials announced Friday.
That officer will also investigate allegations of animal cruelty, inspect boarding facilities, pet shops and grooming establishments, and work with the California Department of Fish and Game and the Los Angeles County Department of Agriculture in dealing with predator animals, such as coyotes.
