Winnebago County Animal Services provides rabies control through pet registration tags, pet adoptions, stray animal collection and sheltering, state and local animal ordinance enforcement, and a 24-hour emergency service for stray animals and bite reports.

To help further control the pet population, Animal Services offers a year-round spay and neuter assistance program for low income individuals.

Animal Services also uses community volunteers for adoption assistance, greeters, spay/neuter clinics, community education, Petsmart adoptions, and a variety of other tasks. Animal Services also works with rescue groups whenever possible.
