Animal Control in Normandy Park
As part of the 2025 Citizen Satisfaction survey, residents are being asked about animal control. While it is still early in our data collection, 38% of respondents say they don’t know or have no opinion on these services. In 2024, it was about the same percentage. So, I wanted to give you some additional information on animal control in Normandy Park.
In Normandy Park, the Police Department is responsible for animal control and offers the following services:
- Animal cruelty investigations
- Educational information about pets and pet ownership
- Impoundment of stray animals
- Nuisance animal complaint investigations
- Rescue of sick or injured animals
- Enforcement of animal control laws
Regarding stray or found animals, Normandy Park Police will pick up and temporarily hold dogs. Social media and a pet chip scanner are used to locate pet owners. The Department can scan cats for chips but will not take custody of a cat. If you have a found or injured cat, please call a local shelter or feline rescue.
The City also works hard to promote good pet etiquette. Anytime you are off private property in Normandy Park, your dog must be leashed or under voice control. This includes City Parks. If you and your dog cross paths with another dog, getting the other owner’s permission is essential before allowing your dog to approach. Please always pick up after your dogs and dispose of their waste correctly.
Another essential item you need to remember as a pet owner is to get a pet license. Purchasing a license and attaching it to your pet’s collar is one of the most important things you can do as a responsible pet owner. Displaying a current license tag on your pet’s collar makes it easy to quickly locate a lost pet’s information. It could be your pet’s ticket home, and it’s also the law. Licenses can be purchased by visiting City Hall. In addition, if your pet is chipped, please be sure to keep your contact information up to date.
The City’s animal regulations can be found online in NPMC Title 6.
If you have any questions about these or other topics, please get in touch with me at aarrington@normandyparkwa.gov. Have a great week!
