Animal Control

Various local organizations and campus departments assume responsibility for providing some animal services and or advice.  The table below addresses many of the animal related situations we have encountered on campus over the years.  This table will help you in contacting the appropriate person and/or organization to assist you with your situation.

If the animal appears to be a danger, is injured or may be injured, please call the campus police at (831) 459-2231, if there is an immediate danger, dial 9-1-1. 

Service Animals:

The Americans with Disabilities Act and University policy provide guidance when dealing with individuals with service animals.

"When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. Staff cannot ask about the person’s disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task."
