History
In 1979, Marin's eleven cities and towns and the County entered into a joint powers authority agreement to offer coordinated animal services to Marin residents. The County contracts with the Marin Humane Society for animal services. These services include licensing and pet identification, responding to calls regarding wildlife and stray animals, rescuing animals in distress, and any other animal related emergency 24-hours a day. Animal Services is funded by member agencies and operated by the Marin General Services Agency.
