What should I do if my neighbor's dog runs at-large?
If you know the pet's owner, it's always best to talk to neighbors first regarding potential problems with their pets. They may or may not know that their dog or cat is creating a problem with others. But, if that is not possible, please call the Division of Humane Services at 636-949-7387 and file a report.

An Animal Control Officer will be dispatched to patrol the area and will make contact with the pet's owner to educate them on County ordinances and pet responsibility. If the dog is found at-large by the Animal Control Officer, it may be impounded, and/or the owner may be issued a citation.
