Animal Control
Our
Intent
The intent of the Animal Control Code is to protect animals from cruelty, neglect and abuse; protect residents from annoyance and injury due to animals; assist in providing housing for animals in a control center; finance the functions of licensing and recovery; establish a program for the sterilization of animals; and protect the residents of the Pueblo and its lands from threats to their health and welfare posed by dangerous and uncontrolled animals.
The Animal Control Office assists the people of Santa Clara with animal needs such as setting up a vaccination clinic or finding other resources that will benefit the people of Santa Clara Pueblo.
The Animal Control Office is tasked with enforcing the Santa Clara Pueblos Animal Control Code TITLE XV – HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT: CHAPTER 89. I enjoy working with the staff from the Espanola Animal Humane as well. Your pets can be registered with me at Santa Clara Police Department.
