Animal Control


Lost, Found, or Stray Dogs                                                                                         

Special Enforcement Officer Ron Nordman responds to animal control calls for service within the City of College Place. When unavailable, College Place police officers may be involved on an ad hoc basis. For domesticated animal control complaints, please call the non-emergency dispatch line at 509-527-1960.

The following procedure occurs when a lost or stray dog is impounded by the Blue Mountain Humane Society: Whenever possible an attempt will be made to locate and return the dog to its owner. If the animal is allowed to constantly run at large after the owner has been warned and / or issued a citation previously, the dog will be transported to the Blue Mountain Humane Society ("BMHS") of Walla Walla, which is located at 7 East George Street in Walla Walla. Their telephone number is (509) 525-2452. 

The police department highly recommends that when any College Place resident loses a pet, whether a dog, cat, or any other domestic animal, they contact the Humane Society at (509) 525-2452.

Please remember that if an animal is taken to BMHS and is not claimed by the third day, it becomes the property of the Blue Mountain Humane Society and may be adopted out.
