1. Where is your holding facility?

The Camden County Animal Control holding facility is located at the Animal Control offices, 1144 Godley Avenue in Woodbine.

2. Will animals be posted on social media?

Yes, we share found dogs on social media. Follow our Facebook and Instagram accounts to see these animals. 

3. What happens if owners do not come forward?

There is very limited space available for holding dogs. We strongly encourage interested residents to assist with finding foster homes or permanent homes through adoption. 

4. Why won’t you pick-up a dog for 48 hours?

Many dogs are found in the neighborhood they live in, and they have the best chance of getting back home if they are retained in their neighborhood. Animal Control is very scary for dogs and often a perfectly friendly dog can be mistaken for aggressive due to the circumstances. We want to give the pet an opportunity to find his/her way home. Over 70% of dogs return home within 48 hours if they remain in the area. 

5. Once a dog or cat is picked up by Animal Control, where is it taken?

The Camden County Animal Control holding facility is located at the Animal Control offices, 1144 Godley Avenue in Woodbine.

6. Does Camden County Have a Leash Law?

Yes. All pets must be restrained to their owner's property by fence, leash, or other appropriate measure. Animals may not leave the owner's property unless properly leashed and accompanied by a responsible person. Animals chained, tethered or fenced outside must have a weatherproof shelter. Waste from the animals must not be allowed to accumulate causing an annoyance or health hazard.

Loose dogs are a public health and safety hazard. Since it is impossible to determine how well trained any individual dog is, Camden County requires all dogs be leashed and under the care & control of a competent person. Please remember when walking your dog(s) you are required to remove and dispose of any feces your animal deposits.
