The Animal Control Unit began service in March
2000, with the hiring of Rick Burns. Rick
is responsible for enforcing Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Law & Order
Code Title 20.
Rick patrols the cluster sites, government
building areas and other areas as requested by reservation residents.
Rick takes calls from residents regarding nuisance animals, animal bites,
loose livestock, and has even taken a skunk and a few snakes out of area
resident’s homes. Rick maintains
the animal pound. Owners of
impounded animals are required to remit fines and boarding costs before the
animal will be released.
- DOG LICENSING
- Dog tags are required for canines living in the cluster sites.
To obtain or renew tags for your animal, contact Rick at the Tribal
Police Department – (785) 966-3024 or toll free at (877) 727-6743. Be
prepared to provide proof of rabies vaccination.
Dog tags are $12/year. Animals
that have been neutered or spayed receive a $6 discount.
-
- RABIES CLINIC
- Each spring we sponsor a Rabies Clinic where reservation residents may
bring their animal for free rabies vaccination and flea & tick dip.
Dr. Tim Parks of Heartland Veterinary Clinic performs the vaccination
and always has a supply of other standard vaccinations available for
purchase. Watch the PBP News, the PBPNation website and community
bulletin boards for dates and times.
-
- ADOPTION
- Rick often gets good animals at the pound the owner just couldn’t keep
any longer. If you are
interested in adopting one of these fine animals, please contact Rick at the
Police Department.
