Barking Dogs - Report to Police or Animal Control?

I acknowledge that I'm digressing by blogging about barking dogs.

OK, here's a little test. In San Francisco, who do you report barking dogs to?

(a little Jeopardy music interlude) . . .

The answer is, it depends.  According to the San Francisco Department of Health - Environmental Health - Noise Complaints:

The Police Department is responsible for all noises associated with:

• music
• parties
• noisy people
• radio
• television, and
• barking dogs

The police can be contacted at their non-emergency dispatch number (415) 553-0123, 24 hours a day. The Police Department responds to most barking dog complaints in San Francisco unless there is evidence of animal abuse. All cases of animal abuse should be directed to Animal Care and Control at 554-6364.

Top Reasons Dogs Should Be Licensed

According to San Francisco Animal Care and Control, most dogs in San Francisco are unlicensed.

Animal Care and Control gives 5 reasons why dogs should get licensed:

1. If your dog gets lost, a license tag on your dog's collar is the fastest way to reunite you and your dog.
2. Licensing, lets people know that your canine companion has received required vaccinations that protect your dog from rabies.
3. Dog License and license renewal fees keep city animal shelters going.
4. Having a Dog License shows that you are a responsible dog caregiver.
5. It's the law.
