Animal Control

If you have a concern regarding wildlife in your yard/neighborhood, contact a wildlife expert. The City of Lakeville will only remove some wildlife and in limited situations (sick/injured/deceased).

Coyotes are a part of the community. We have more information on our Coyotes in Lakeville webpage.

Missing Pets

When looking for a missing pet:

  • Alert your neighbors as quickly as possible.
  • Notify your veterinary clinic.
  • Make sure your pet’s microchip info is updated with your current contact information.

The Lakeville Police Department does not house any animals or have pets for adoption.
