When walking through your neighborhood or parks with your pet, please remember to pickup after your pet.  Also, please remember that the City of Alton has a Leash Law.  All dogs are required to be on leash.  Cat owners must prevent their cats from becoming a public nuisance as defined by the laws of the City of Alton.  Failure to comply could lead to a fine for the pet’s owner. 

If you have any questions regarding animal control related matters, please contact Animal Control at 463-3553 or the Public Works Department at 463-3530.  If you have any questions regarding animal registration fees, please contact the City Treasurer’s Office at 463-3540 or at adeardeuff@alton-il.com.
