Southern Tier Animal Control

Southern Tier Animal Control Southern Tier Animal Control Inc. is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization that helps lost pets find their way home and enforce State/Local laws to contracted Towns.

10/14/2025

Southern Tier Animal Control is only authorized to enforce Article 7 of the Agriculture & Markets Law (dog control).

We have no authority to enforce Article 26 of the Agriculture & Markets Law (animal cruelty/abandonment) only a Police Officer, Town constable, or Peace Officer can enforce this section of the law.

Towns in NYS are only required by law to hire or contract for Dog Control Services, the County or Law Enforcement Departments need to have a separate contract to house Article 26 animals at an Article 7 Shelter.

STAC would be happy to entertain the idea of furnishing a contract to a County, Sheriff’s Department or State Police.. but our Organization will not do this for free anymore… With NYS being so strict with Shelter inspections and STAC loosing about $1000 per Article 26 dog because once law enforcement strong arms us to take it, they seem to wash there hands of it… No charges or updates on the owners information… Enough is enough!

Please everyone! get your dogs vaccinated and licensed!.. seems like 80% of the dogs picked up are unlicensed and unvaccinated… To avoid delay in redeeming please get this done, if your dog is picked up on Friday evening and your dog is unlicensed and unvaccinated, you will have to wait till Monday to redeem because of veterinary offices being closed and of course, on top of that larger impound redemption fee, and also tickets…

Newbie alert!! 💕

Merida is a 1-2 year old beautiful girl and she is full of love. She just recently arrived at the shelter so we’re still getting to know her. She knows her basic commands and is good on leash. Also, she seems to love being around people and get some cuddles. We have not dog tested her yet.

She is available for Foster to Adopt, then full adoption after she’s spayed and fully vaccinated … Applications can be filled out at southerntieranimalcontrol.org.. Please Share 😊
