The mission of animal control will be to provide protection and service to all members of the community, both animal and human. Through proactive public education and interaction, the City of Greenbelt can increase citizen's knowledge of responsible pet ownership, and animal behavior; and decrease potential cases of diseases; reduce the number of lost and abandoned animals; eliminate incidents of animal aggression and animal abuse, and reunite lost animals with their human families.
