The Piedmont Police Department Animal Services handles lost dog cases throughout Alameda County in the East Bay Area. If your dog goes missing in or around Piedmont, this is one of your first stops for help. Their Animal Control Officers work to locate missing pets and reunite them with owners, drawing on local knowledge and resources that come with being embedded in the community.

Beyond lost dogs, their Animal Services division manages the full range of animal-related calls. They respond to reports of sick or injured animals, investigate dog bites, and handle complaints about barking dogs or animals at large. Officers enforce state laws and city ordinances around animal care, licensing, and leash requirements. When violations occur—whether it’s an unlicensed dog or a pet running loose repeatedly—they issue citations or warnings as appropriate.

The department also serves as a general resource for dog owners. Staff can answer questions about licensing requirements, microchipping, and pet safety. If you’re dealing with a specific animal concern in Piedmont, they can often point you toward the right solution or agency. They emphasize responsible pet ownership as a foundation for keeping the community safe for both dogs and people.

The Animal Services office is part of the Piedmont Police Department, so you can reach them during business hours with questions about a lost dog or other animal matters. Having a microchip registered with your contact information is one of the single best ways to improve your chances of a quick reunion if your dog gets lost—something worth discussing with Animal Services or your veterinarian. If your dog does go missing, calling Animal Services right away means they can note your dog’s description in their system and begin looking through animals that come into their care.
