April 14-20, 2024 is Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week!
Gloucester County joins other localities throughout the Commonwealth in celebrating how our Animal Control officers dedicate their lives to the health and safety of at-risk and helpless animals. Gloucester’s Animal Control officers work tirelessly to rescue and protect animals from injury, disease, abuse, starvation and more.
This week, and each week, we sincerely appreciate what they do for our community! Be sure to follow our Facebook page throughout the week as we highlight stories on how our Animal Control Department works to make a positive impact on the County.
