The Town of Sahuarita provides animal control services. We are committed to providing the best customer service to our residents while ensuring fiscal responsibility. Click below to learn more about options and information.
Our Animal Control Officer (ACO) responds to animal calls and assists owners in being reunited with their lost animals. The ACO is responsible for enforcing the Town's Animal Control Code Title 6, which includes leash laws, noise and barking, strays, aggressive animals, and such. The ACO also transports stray and impounded animals to the shelter. The Sahuarita Police Department assists the ACO.
