Animal Control Unit
The Kansas City, Kansas
Animal Control is a Unit of the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department Community
Support Services Division. This Unit provides a unique service to the citizens
of the City, by combining activities of a law enforcement agency that protects
people and their property with a humane organization that protects animals.
Irresponsible pet ownership and pet over-population are the main reasons that
any animal control agency exists. Pets can provide significant benefits for
families. When pets are not properly cared for, they can become not only a
nuisance, but also a threat to the health and safety of the community.
The Kansas City, Kansas Animal Control Unit has a mission to balance the health,
safety and welfare needs of people and animals within the City of Kansas City,
Kansas.
The Unified Government of Wyandotte County, Kansas City, Kansas, George Lee Dunn
Animal Shelter & Control Facility is located at 3301 Park Drive. The shelter
provides humane care for animals impounded until they are returned or reclaimed
by their owner, adopted to a new family, or humanely euthanized.
