Schuyler County NY Animal Control

01/05/2025

This would be helpful to anyone looking to contact their local Animal / Dog Control Officers. Lost Dogs of the Finger Lakes has really helped us with this as they have updated everything!

01/01/2025

Starting at 12AM on 1/1/25, Schuyler County will begin working with the Southern Tier Animal Control in Elmira NY for sheltering services. Unfortunately, we will no longer be contracted with the Humane Society of Schuyler County for animal related calls. If you have any animal complaints, lost dogs, found dogs, or concerns please reach out to the Schuyler County Sheriffs Office at 607-535-8222. With simple questions please reach out to the Animal Control Officer directly at 607-535-8239.

I hope everyone has a wonderful start to their new year!

UPDATE!!! 12/28 FOUND SAFE!!

Flyers/posters for the win! Finny’s mom got right to distributing the flyers we made. A customer at Blue Ribbon diner saw it. She later spotted Finny and was pretty sure it was the dog that she saw earlier on the poster, she called the blue ribbon diner. They sent her a picture of the flyer and sure enough she had found him on Cronk Road. We got in touch with his mom who got there right away and was able to lure him to safety!!

MISSING!! 12/26 Montour
Sweet Mr Finny was visiting from out of town when he went missing from near the intersection of Coykendall, Hawks View & Park Hill Rds in Montour.
He and a sibling dog went out for a quick morning adventure, the sibling returned but Finny did not. Finny is not wearing his collar but he is microchipped. Finny is a medium/large size dog, approximately 20" tall.
Finny is a friendly guy but can be a quite shy. So if you see him, please just keep your eyes on him from a distance and call his extremely worried Mom at 607-535-6174 or us at 607-425-8000

Erin/Van Etten/Baldwin, NY
Our heartfelt thanks go out to the hunters that spotted them 5 miles from home and called the family right away! Thank you to the entire community for keeping an eye out for these most precious family members!

SKITTISH - Wary of strangers!

These beloved family members escaped from their home last week (12/8) near the 2700 block of Wyncoop Creek near Thayer Rd. Their Dad is devastated and needs his pals back home ASAP! They will not come to strangers and are very timid so it is vital that no one calls out to them, whistles at, follows them on foot or in cars, and not make any forward movement towards them.

Slow down be alert, save a life it’s rutting season for deer and November and December is their most active months.
Some things to keep in mind when driving -
**Deer are most active from sunset to midnight and shortly before and after sunrise - drive with extra caution at these hours.
**If you see one deer, there are likely more.
**Brake firmly when you see a deer in your path, but stay in your lane. Don't veer. Check fences and take down sporting nets when not in use .

Do not feed bread to ducks and geese.
Bread causes permanent harm to ducks and geese, leading to deformities like “angel wing,” which prevent them from migrating and escaping predators. Please avoid giving them bread.

Instead, opt for healthier options such as cracked corn, peas, mealworms, romaine lettuce, watermelon, or sliced grapes!
