Most animal controls are in it for the money. They make revenue just like the police do. We had 2 beagles when we moved from California. In California they had rabies tags that were good for 3 years. They were still good when we got here. Colorado didn't accept the tags though. So we had to pay a 75.00 per dog fine plus an original 25.00 pick up fee. Then there was 10.00 a day for storage. We were broke and they were in there for 5 days before we could spring them. They were on our front porch when they got picked up. One of our kids let them out of the house and being beagles they ran where their nose pulled them. We were out looking for them when the dog catcher came by and saw them.
My experience with animal control is that they are like cops. Always close by when you don't need them. When you need them they are hard to get. I still appreciate and respect them though. Getting your own dog picked up really sucks though. When I was a little kid our family dog got out and got caught. He picked up a bad case of kennel cough. They were talking about putting him down. Fortunately the antibiotic cleared it up. My poor Dad put a lot of money into that mutt.
