Animal control services are handled by Bergen County Animal Control. Residents are to contact the Fair Lawn Police Department at 201-796-1400 (24 Hours a Day/365 Days a Year) to report the following:
- Sick, injured, dangerous or stray animals
- Removal of dead animals on public property
- Removal of nuisance wildlife on public property
- Report a lost pet
- All other non-emergency animal calls/complaints.
DO NOT CALL 9-1-1 FOR ANIMAL RELATED CALLS/COMPLAINTS
Bergen County Animal Control will respond to complaints on private property for the removal of dead animals or to trap nuisance wildlife and will charge a fee directly to the resident for these services.
Additionally, Bergen County Animal Control is not a pest control service and will not remove healthy wildlife from residential property. The only exception is that they will remove wildlife from living quarters for a fee payable by the resident at the time of the service. This does not include animals in attics, basements, garages, chimneys, or sheds.
