Firestone Police Department: Animal Control

The Town of Firestone currently employs two Community Services Officers that also cover Animal Control Issues within the Town limits. All animal control ordinances can be found under Title 6 of the Firestone Municipal Code. Most common animal control concerns include dogs running at large, animal licensing, barking concerns, leash laws and pet limits.

Dog and cat licensing is available through the Police Department during regular business hours. All pets must have current proof of rabies vaccination before a license will be issued. Costs for licenses are $5.00 for spayed and neutered pets and $10.00 for unaltered pets. Licenses expire on December 31 of each year and must be renewed annually.

Animal control only picks up dogs that are at large and does not handle felines or wildlife. Dogs that are impounded will be taken to Carbon Valley Animal Hospital, where they will be held for five days. After the five day hold, the dogs will be surrendered to Longmont Humane Society for adoption. Costs for retrieving a dog that has been impounded is $15.00 per day kennel fee, plus a $40.00 impound fee. Animals returned to the owner after they have been taken to Longmont Humane Society will be responsible for paying both the fees charged by LHS, as well as fees from the Town.

Colorado State Law requires that all animal bites be reported to the local police department. Any bite that breaks the skin must be reported as the animal must be placed under a 10 day quarantine hold to ensure no disease transmission has taken place. A report will also be filed with the Weld County Health Department.

The Animal Control Officers will also handle animal cruelty, neglect and abandonment cases.

To report an animal concern or have questions regarding the Town Ordinances,

Santa Cops 2011

Throughout the years of coordinating the Santa Cop program for Firestone, I am overcome with gratitude for the thoughtful and wonderful people who have volunteered and donated not only their time, but also their generosity to the Firestone Santa Cop program. The Santa Cop program has experienced an endless amount of support from our community. We are very impressed with the sincere generosity of our community, businesses and contractors that are so willing to give to the Tri-Town children so that many may experience a Merry Christmas. To all the busy shoppers and wrappers who cheerfully give of themselves who have gone above and beyond, this program would not be as successful without your assistance. If I have left anyone out, please accept my sincere gratitude for your kind-heartedness.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
