County Animal Control Department
Welcome to the Bureau County
Animal Control department website.
The Bureau County Animal
Control department is a part of the Bureau County Health Department.
Located in Princeton, Illinois, the Animal Control department
services Bureau County.
The Bureau County Animal
Control Department reminds the owners of all dogs that each of them
must be registered with the County every year. This is to ensure
that all dogs are vaccinated and prevents the spread of rabies.
Without vaccination records, a dog bite requires extensive treatment
for rabies in a human. To prevent, minimize and control the spread
of rabies all dogs must be vaccinated. The Animal Control Office
maintains registration records for this purpose and investigates
over 150 dog bites a year. Should any citizen know of a dog that is
not registered they can report the owner of the dog anonymously at
(815) 879-5981 or thru the Anonymous Tips web page
(click here) on this site.
According to the State of
Illinois Animal Control Act of 1973, "all dogs must be vaccinated
and registered upon reaching (4) four months of age. Failure to
vaccinate and register your dog could result in a fine up to $100
plus the costs of impounding."
