YBeing an animal control officer requires much more than just a love of animals. But it's a good starting point. Animal control officers care for animals that have been abandoned, left unattended, are unlicensed, have been mistreated, or pose a threat to the community. In addition to feeding and cleaning the animals' pens, the job frequently entails caring for animals who will be put to sleep. However, it may entail arranging for the adoption of animals in your care. 

Animal control officers are frequently called out at night, on weekends, and on holidays. They must be employed by a municipal police force, an independent agency, or a private company. Although certain career schools and police academies provide courses in animal control work, most training takes place on the job. 

Being an animal control officer necessitates a commitment to the public good and to the animals, as well as patience and aggressiveness. Your reward will be knowing that you are assisting in the protection of creatures who are unable to speak for themselves.
