Department Overview

 Since 2018 Rogers Animal Services has maintained a 100% Lives Saved Rate. We are able to accomplish this by practicing a progressive form of Animal Control that is focused on stray animals making it back home to their family. This has led to almost half of the animals that were impounded at the shelter making it back to their homes and their families.
