Animal Control

Our Animal Control Officers (ACOs) are employed by Williamson County to protect the public by enforcing state laws and local ordinances concerning domestic animals and work with the public to educate and gain compliance whenever possible. They are members of the National Animal Care and Control Association which creates high standards and guidelines for ACOs across the country. Our officers attend ongoing educational courses and training opportunities that make them leaders in their field of work.

In addition to animals roaming at large, you can contact our officers to report:

If you have a welfare concern for livestock or domestic waterfowl, please complete a Citizen Inquiry form with the State of Tennessee’s Department of Agriculture.

If you need help with nuisance wildlife, please contact Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.  Williamson County Animal Center does not remove wildlife from private property.  If you have a nuisance animal that is already in a trap, please contact us during regular business hours for further instruction.
