Effective April 1, 2007 the City of Johnston will be holding stray animals at the Public Works facility for a period of 3 days in order to locate owners of the animal before transporting to Animal Rescue League.   Animal Rescue will hold the animal for an additional 7 days before arranging to place the animal for adoption.  Injured or aggressive animals will be taken directly to the Animal Rescue League.  Due to the cost incurred by the City, anyone claiming an animal at the Public Works facility will be charged $50.00.

To ensure that your pet is returned to you should it get lost, we recommend that your animal have current identification tags or be microchipped.  The Animal Rescue League will be holding a microchip clinic on Saturday December 6, 2008 at their main location from 10:00am until noon.  The Animal Resuce League is located at 5452 NE 22nd Street. The cost for the chipping is $30.00.

For anyone interested in having a pet microchipped, please contact the Animal Rescue League at 262-9503.
