Mendocino County Animal Control

I've been calling animal control for 5 yrs asking them to do something about the neglected dogs up the hill that bark frantically right into my bedroom window 24/7. I haven't had a peaceful nights sleep in 7yrs. They bark with high anxiety non stop all night & day for 7 yrs now. Animal Control officers always tell me "Theres nothing we can do about this." Not to mention their hours, 10am-5pm Monday-Friday, are ridiculous. They work 7 hrs a day, 5 days a week. If you have an animal emergency after 5pm or on a weekend, forget about it. My dog just died of a heartattack early in her life. She was so stressed about the dogs up the hill all the time. I think it played a part in her early demise. Mendocino County doesn't seem to have proper laws in place for Animal Control to serve & protect the animals. I've even sent them evidence of tons of video footage from years of those dogs barking non stop, yet it remains ignored & they do nothing about it. Im doing this review because I feel helpless in this situation, like my only option to keep my sanity is to move out of the home I've lived in for over a decade.

I adopted a cat from here, I could tell right away that she had respiratory problems and a ear infection. Apparently they treated her for the URI, but when she came home she was really lethargic. I took her to the vet and found out she had a bacterial infection in both ears and respiratory infection. I think they need to do a better job making sure they are adopting out healthy pets cause mine was in poor shape. I'm glad I was able to help her when they failed to. This is a serious problem when you bring a sick pet home and it is a highly contagious infection to other cats. Very small cages also so sad for these animals.

I got a cat there they said that it was eight And it looked only 4 so we asked the vet and the groomer and they said she was 4 or 5 and they also said she was spayed but she is in heat and is spoked to be an outdoor cat but she hates being outside . So we think that they lied cause it dose not say the date she was spayed or the doctor who did it .now they are under investigation. hmmmmh makes sense

The animals are great. The dog trainer is great. Other staff - well…. Not very helpful, they don't give very complete or accurate info even when asked specific questions, and it is hard to visit the dogs because of the stench. BUT go for the animals, do you own research, hold your breath when trying to meet the dogs.
