Animal Control Boise: A Step-By-Step Guide

A startling animal-related incident can leave you struggling to find the right course of action. Although many issues can be solved by responsible pet owners, there's no guarantee a pet owner will step up to help you reach an appropriate resolution. There are options for you to consider when dealing with animal control in Boise, Idaho, but DoNotPay's service will save you time and irritation as you look to turn the page on an unfortunate incident.

What to Do Before You Contact Animal Control in Boise

Everything happens quickly when it comes to a dog bite or other animal-related incident. The best thing you can do is to remain as calm as possible and quickly seek medical attention for any injuries. Here's a step-by-step rundown of what you might want to do in case of an animal attack in Boise, Idaho:

1. Call 9-1-1 for serious injuries or seek appropriate treatment
2. Create a record of the animal's description
3. Find owner information
4. Inquire about immunizations (like rabies) with your physician
5. Collect medical bills for safekeeping
6. Reach out to the owner to discuss the next steps

For anyone hoping to resolve the situation without calling Boise Animal Control or Ada County Animal Control, calmly approaching the pet's owner is likely to yield the best results. It's worth noting, however, that accusations and threats are likely to be counterproductive. You also might want to consider bringing another adult to act as an independent witness. Important: Do not approach a pet owner you believe to be overly hostile or dangerous.

Determining When to Call Animal Control in Boise

If your main concern is receiving financial compensation to cover medical bills, coming to a resolution with the pet's owner is your most straightforward option for getting what you want. Once you call Animal Control Boise, you might have a hard time being reimbursed for medical bills and the process can become overly complicated. But if you are not getting anywhere with the pet's owner and are looking for other solutions, you can contact Boise Animal Control in a number of ways:

Before you reach out to Boise Animal Control, however, you might want to spend a few minutes fact-finding. The Boise animal compliance code provides helpful information as does the Boise County Vicious Animal Ordinance. To report a dog bite or file a report about animal cruelty/neglect, you can use the 208-343-3166 number, although the main Boise Animal Control number (208-429-6600) can get you started in most cases.

The Idaho Humane Society is also a valuable resource for anything animal-related, as the organization oversees animal laws throughout the Boise area. The Idaho Humane Society has a wealth of resources and contact information for state, county, and city animal laws. You can also email them at aco@idahohumanesociety.org and find them on Facebook.

For more serious incidents, or if you believe the animal to be dangerous to others, call the Ada County Sheriff's Office at 208-577-3000 or the Boise Police Department at 208-377-6790.
