In the meantime, residents should direct issues or concerns regarding pets in the following manner:
For vicious and barking dog problems, contact the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. If it is an emergency, dial 911. If it is not an emergency, contact MCSO at 602-876-1000.
For other animal-related issues, you can contact the Fountain Hills Code Enforcement Hotline at 480-816-5193.
The Town appreciates the patience of residents while this transition is taking place, Pelton said.
