I contacted Animal Control after watching my neighbor violently abuse his dog. I supplied several videos of the animal abuse. The manager came out when my neighbor wasn’t home, and never returned to check on the dog. He spoke with him by phone, nothing was done, and the abuse continues. My neighbor was never reprimanded, not even a citation, as I was told the evidence would not stand up in court as a felony. Upon following up with the manager, I was told the abuse had to be something worse, like decapitation, for anything to be done. Harford Animal Control is worthless and does not care for the well-being of animals.

I must contradict the majority of reviews regarding this county's animal control personnel. Upon request, they provided and set up a humane live trap for another county resident's escaped peacock. He had apparently been on the lam for weeks or perhaps months and had decided our small neighborhood was his new place of residence. He is a beautiful and friendly guy, but family grew tired of his roosting on the porch and vehicles (along with inevitable paint scratches and mess left behind). A few days of food enticement later and the peacock was in trap. Wildlife officers showed up quickly when called and assured us the peacock will be well cared for until claimed by the rightful owner. Owner is delighted. Family is at peace. Neighborhood survived the invasion. Win-win all around. Many thanks to our county animal control officers!

Please post new larger signage regarding picking up after your dogs at Tollgate athletic fields. We love this park, however, the lower fields are littered with dog poop. The only sign in that area is painted over with white spray paint! I can’t believe parents of children playing sports on those fields don’t complain! It was awful.

Called about died deer in my yard and was told they do not handle the removal of wild animals. So how would my neighbors and I know if our families are in danger if Bel Air, Animal Contol, doesn't investigate such actions.

When asked to do a well fair check on a home with neglected animals + unlivable conditions they will show up only to give the owner a slap on the wrist and leave with no action being taken. They do NOT care about the safety and well-being of the animals, they just do whatever takes the least amount of work.
