Colusa County Animal Control serves the entirety of Colusa County, encompassing the cities of Williams and Colusa, along with all unincorporated areas such as Arbuckle, College City, Delevan, Grimes, Maxwell, Princeton, and Stonyford. If your dog goes missing anywhere in this Central Valley region, this is your first stop. The staff handles lost dog reports and actively works to match found dogs with their owners, so it’s worth checking in person if your dog has disappeared—staff can describe any animals currently at the facility that might match your dog’s description.

Beyond lost dogs, Colusa County Animal Control also handles adoptions and rescues. If you’re looking to add a dog to your family, you can visit to see what animals are available. The facility also issues pet licenses, which is a requirement in the county. Getting your dog licensed isn’t just about following regulations—it’s practical. If your dog ever does get lost, a current license increases the chances that someone finding your dog will be able to trace them back to you through the county’s records.

The scope of what Colusa County Animal Control covers is genuinely expansive. Many dog owners in smaller towns like College City or Stonyford don’t realize they have professional animal control services nearby. Whether you live in Colusa proper or in one of the smaller communities scattered throughout the county, this is your local resource for dog-related emergencies, lost pet situations, or if you want to adopt.

For information about specific dogs currently at the facility or to report a lost dog, call (530) 458-0247 or check their website. Having their number saved in your phone is smart insurance if you have a dog that likes to wander.
