HENRY COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL
WELCOME TO THE ANIMAL CONTROL DEPARTMENT!
- The Henry County Animal Control Department registers all dogs that have been vaccinated against rabies pursuant to the Henry County Code 91.22, which
states:
“Every owner of a dog four months or more of age shall have each dog inoculated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian. Every dog shall
have a second rabies vaccination within one year of the first…”
- Each dog vaccinated against rabies is issued a numbered tag that can be used to identify the animal if it becomes lost.
- The department is a Government owned and operated Animal Control Facility, certified and inspected by the State of Illinois, and is funded through
vaccination registrations paid by the residents of Henry County. Please Visit our Wish
List page to see what we are in need of at this time.
- The Henry County Animal Control Department investigates all complaints of neglected and/or abused animals, animal bites, and persistent animal problems.
- Responsible for containing loose and/or stray dogs and cats in the unincorporated areas of Henry County and those Towns and Villages with whom
contracted.
- Only handles Dogs and Cats - NO WILDLIFE PLEASE!
- DNR wants us to leave wildlife alone.
- Unless the animals are bleeding, DNR doesn't want them transported to rehabilitators, otherwise we are simply kidnapping them!
