Generally, dog control officers are on duty from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. When staffing is available, the Department makes a strong effort to have officers on duty into the evening hours during the summer and during the day on weekends.

Under emergency conditions, a dog control officer, in cooperation with other local law enforcement agencies, is available on a call-out basis. The Allen County Sheriff's Office provides 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, emergency dispatch service for the Dog Control Department.
