1 in 3 pets go missing in their lifetime
WE’RE HERE TO BRING THEM HOME.
Founded in 2011, Companion Animal Control provides animal control services to over 45 municipalities in Anoka County, Ramsey County, Washington County, Minnesota as well as St. Croix County & Pierce County, Wisconsin.
To date, CAC has handled over 5,000 animal control related calls, helped over 4,500 animals. We respond to requests for animal control services from citizens of contracted cities and we work closely with law local enforcement.
Companion Animal Control does not operate an impound facility, rather we partner with local veterinary clinics and rescues to facilitate impound contracts with municipalities. This ensures animals are housed safely and comfortably for the state required holding time. We work closely with the impound facility, serving as point of contact to expedite the reclaim of animals by owners.
For animals unclaimed by owners or surrendered, Companion Animal Control partners with local 501c3 rescues to send animals into foster homes with the rescues in pursuit of permanent adoptive homes.

Pick-up
As part of our animal control service contracts with cities in MN & WI, every year we help hundreds of stray & abandoned animals. We drive to locations animals are found, often by Good Samaritans, and transport animals to a partnering vet clinic/impound facility. Animals receive the care and attention they need in a comfortable environment while we look for their owner.

Placement
For animals that have completed the state required stray hold or have been surrendered, we partner with local 501c3 rescues to find animals new adoptive homes.
