The Division works hand-in-hand with area law enforcement to deliver a range of public safety services across the county — including Tampa, Temple Terrace, and Plant City — such as:
- Picking up and transporting injured or sick stray animals

- Following up on complaints involving animal cruelty or neglect
- Teaching residents about humane treatment and animal safety practices
For wildlife on private property, use private removal services.
