Franklin Animal Control Officer, 15 Public Works Way, Franklin, MA 02038, US

Staffed by one full-time and one part-time animal control officer, this department responds to emergency calls related to animals. While these officers won't remove bats from your attic, if you find a dog wandering on your street, call them. The department's building has a kennel that serves as a temporary home for unclaimed pets. Dogs that are healthy enough for adoption are available for a fee and the department regularly posts pictures of its adoption-ready animals on www.petfinder.com.
