Responsibilities & Services

The Bowie Animal Control Section is a division of the Bowie Police Department Support Services Division. This section provides a unique concept 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 neighbors.

The Animal Control Section has a mission to balance the health, safety, and welfare needs of people and animals within the City of Bowie.
