ANIMAL WILDLIFE SERVICES
Animal Wildlife Service Officers are dedicated to promote and protect the health, safety and welfare of domestic animals and wildlife for tribal lands and communities. We are guided by and enforce the tribal Ordinance to protect people and promote responsible pet ownership and welfare. We provide public safety from sick, injured, vicious and at large animals on all Reservations. Animal Wildlife Services provides care and new homes for unwanted and homeless domestic animals. Officers also deal with wildlife issues and provide assistance to injured wildlife. We assist when needed in any animal related issue on any Reservation.
We are pleased to serve the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Tribal communities by providing information and resources to ensure public safety and animal welfare for both domestic and wildlife.
