Notes

The Monroe County Sheriffs Department Animal Management Officers respond to animal related complaints and problems received from the public. They also patrol the county looking for animals at large and violations of the county animal ordinances. The Animal Management Officers primarily deal with domestic animals and livestock problems, however they are called on to deal with injured wildlife.

The Animal Management Officers work closely with the Bloomington Animal Shelter investigating the abuse/neglect of animals. Officers perform home/yard inspections on all individuals wishing to adopt an animal from the shelter. They also investigate animal bites to humans and animals and ensure proper quarantine monitoring of all involved animals.

The Animal Management Officers provide 24 hour emergency service and assist Monroe County Sheriffs Deputies with animal related cases.

We encourage the public to call us regarding anything they feel needs addressed concerning animal issues. Without public interest, we would be unable to perform our duties to full capacity.

Choosing the Right Animal for Your Family

Don't let the enthusiasm for getting a new pet overshadow your common sense. There are several things to consider before choosing the right pet to be a part of your family. Companion animals rely on us almost entirely to meet their needs and this responsibility should not be taken lightly.

1. Consider your family's lifestyle: Will you be at home enough to fulfill the needs of a pet, such as exercising, socializing, training and grooming?
2. Consider your home environment: Will your pet be indoors, outdoors or both? Do you have a small or large yard? Is your yard fenced? Do you live in a house or apartment?
3. Consider the ordinary and the unexpected expenses: Vaccinations, worming, flea control, food, toys, leash, collar, treats, spay and neutering or possibly a serious illness.
4. Consider the pet itself: How energetic will the pet be? How big will the pet get? What is the pet's temperament?
