Common Animal Concerns

Below are answers to frequently asked questions about animal control services in Louisville and surrounding areas.

What should I do about my neighbor's barking dog?

For barking dog complaints, we recommend first trying to speak with your neighbor directly about the issue. If that doesn't resolve the problem, you can file a noise complaint with Harshaw Family Foundation Animal Shelter as they have enforcement authority for animal-related ordinances. As a private company, we do not have authority to enforce noise ordinances, but we can provide consultation on deterrents and solutions for a fee.

Do you help with trapped or injured domestic animals?

Yes, assisting with trapped or injured domestic animals is a service we provide. If you discover an injured domestic animal or one that is trapped or in distress on your property, please call our line at (502) 483-7387. We will dispatch a specialist to safely retrieve the animal and arrange for appropriate veterinary care if needed. As a private service, fees will apply based on the specific situation.
