City Of Marion, Il. Animal Care And Control

01/13/2024

As a reminder, our office will be closed Monday, January 15th for Martin Luther King Jr day. We will reopen Tuesday, January 16th at 8a.m.

Also, we have dangerously low temperatures and wind chills forecast for the next several days, this will put outside animals in danger of injury or death. If at all possible, bring them in. If not possible, please make sure to take every precaution necessary to keep them safe. This includes a well insulated house, preferably with a door to block wind, and lots of STRAW, as blankets and such will retain moisture and freeze. Make sure animals have access to unfrozen water and feed them heavier, their bodies need the added nutrients. Know and watch for the signs of hypothermia and frost bite, if seen, seek veterinary care immediately

Just a friendly reminder: our office will be closed Friday, December 23rd-Monday, December 26th so our employees may enjoy Christmas with their families. If you have an emergency during this time, please call the City of Marion IL Police Dept at (618) 993-2124 option 2.

Also, we are expecting some very cold temperatures and snow. Please, if at all possible, bring outside pets in. If it is not possible, make sure doghouse is filled with plenty of dry STRAW (hay, blankets, pet beds will hold moisture and freeze). Make sure your animals have access to non frozen water and feed them heavier as they will be using up more energy to stay warm. Try to face doghouse away from wind and cover door to prevent wind/snow from blowing in.

Hope everyone has a very blessed Christmas!
