Spring Brings Increased Sightings of Wildlife!

• Tips for Preventing Bear Problems 

Springtime means beautiful weather, blooming flowers, and wildlife! By taking precautions you can keep your family and pets safe while enjoying the beautiful wildlife we have here in Loudoun County.

• Vaccinate your pets against rabies and keep vaccinations up to date. Rabies vaccines are required by law for dogs and cats age 4 months or older.
• Keep your distance from animals acting strangely whether they are wild, or, companion animals with an unknown owner. Report strange animal behavior or animal attacks to the Department of Animal Services 703-777-0406.
• Prevent contact between pets and wildlife, especially at night. Walk pets on a leash and feed cats and dogs inside.
• Eliminate possible sources of food for wildlife from your yard and keep trash can lids tightly closed.
• Any animal bites to people or pets or sightings of animals suspected of having rabies should be reported to the Department of Animal Services 703-777-0406 or the Loudoun County Health Department by calling 703-777-0234.

The department's Animal Control Division enforces local and state animal laws and investigates reports of animal cruelty and vicious or destructive animals. The department also maintains a lost and found animal file, issues dog licenses, and assists citizens with a variety of animal issues.

Outreach Program
Animal Services has an active community outreach program, including volunteer opportunities, humane education programs for schools and youth groups, and special events.
