🐾 Animal Control Officer (ACO) Spotlight 🐾

This week, we’re proud to highlight one of the dedicated Animal Control Officers serving Chester County.

Our officers are on the front lines every day, responding to calls, investigating complaints, protecting public safety, and ensuring animals receive humane care. From early mornings to after-hours emergencies, their work makes a lasting impact in our community.

This Week’s Spotlight: ACO Powell

📍 Favorite Part of the Job:
“I enjoy interacting with the public and their animals each day, and helping educate owners on proper care so both pets and people can thrive together.”

📍 Something You May Not Know:
“I’m a proud father and grandfather, and I value passing down the right way to care for animals—just like I learned growing up on a farm.”

💬 ACO Powell Shares:
“Animals that are loved and given a good environment don’t just live longer—you can see the difference in them every day. That’s why I love this job, and I’m proud to work with a team that cares about these animals just as much as I do.”

🐾 We Need Help — Fosters, Volunteers & Rescues Needed Immediately 🐾

https://linktr.ee/chesteranimals

We’re proud to maintain a live outcome rate above 92%, something made possible by a dedicated team and an incredible community. 💙

But right now, we’re facing a crisis, and we need your help.

In just the last two weeks, we’ve impounded 42 animals, and our 52 dog kennels were already full before they even arrived.

🐶 We need fosters.
Opening your home, even temporarily, creates space, reduces stress, and gives these dogs a much-needed break.

🏡 Our Staycation Program is a fun way to help.
Take a dog home for a day, a few days, just for the weekend, spoil them a little, and help us learn more about their personality outside the shelter to better their chances of adoption.

🤝 Calling our rescue partners.
If your organization can pull, place, or assist with transport, your support is critical.

📲 Scan the QR code to get involved or call (803) 385-6341 to get started.

Not able to foster? That’s okay, we still need you.
Volunteers make a huge difference by giving animals attention, enrichment, and a little extra love while they wait for their next step.

If you’ve ever thought about helping, this is your moment. We welcome you to be part of the difference. 🐾💙

🐾 Animal Control Appreciation Week – Meet the Team 🐾

This week, we’re taking a moment to introduce the people behind the badge, the care in shelter, and the daily work you may not always see.

Our team serves in different roles in the field responding to calls, and inside the shelter caring for animals day in and day out but they all share the same purpose: protecting public safety while providing care and compassion to the animals of this community.

Each person you see here plays a part in that mission, and this video is a chance to put faces to the work.

To our team, thank you for what you do, and for the way you do it. We’re proud to stand behind you. 💙
