Animal Control
Animal License:

that all dogs, over 4 months of age, have the
following:
-
license (purchased annually with a one year rabies vaccination or every three (3) years with a three (3) year rabies vaccination).
-
A Rabies vaccination certificate, not to expire in the next 90 days.
License shall be displayed on a
collar worn by the dog at all times.
License fees:
-
$6.00 for sterilized animals
-
$12.00 for unsterilized

-
$1.00 for sterilized animals owned by any
disabled person or anyone 62 years of age or older
NOTE: Owners of seeing eye dogs, guide dogs, or other dogs being used to aid the blind,
are not required to pay an annual fee but are required to have/obtain a license.
Licenses can be purchased at the
Utility Billing Office at City Hall
(117 W Central)
The number of lost and/or unwanted pets increases
daily, creating a high number of impounded animals.
The purpose of Animal Control is to regulate,
license and provide public safety and humane control of domestic animals
throughout our community.
Bentonville's Animal Control Officers take pride in
enforcing, promoting, and protecting public safety. They also enforce and promote responsible pet
ownership, safe human-animal interactions, and other related duties that apply.
If your pet wears a current
license or I.D. tag, we will make every effort possible to notify you and
reunite you with your lost pet. If your pet was not wearing a tag it's very
possible that he/she could have been impounded.
The Bentonville Police Department currently compiles
a daily list of unclaimed dogs that are picked up in the Bentonville area. This list
is provided and updated daily in an effort to help pet owners locate/claim their lost pet, or
even to inform interested citizens of a dog found in their neighborhood who might need a good
home.

These dogs are held at the Rogers Animal Shelter and
become the property of the City of Rogers six days after being picked up.
Once a dog has been missing over six days it will not be on the list and will therefore
be necessary for you to contact the Rogers Animal Shelter to verify if they
still have possession.

If a dog needs to be claimed, the owner must go to the Animal Shelter to verify ownership of the dog. Upon doing so,
an Animal Release fee ($15.00 per day, per dog for a maximum of 6 days) must be paid to and at the Bentonville Police Department before the dog can
be released.
To Claim Your Pet
-
Verify the identity/ ownership of the animal at the Rogers Animal Shelter
-
The owner must appear in person at the Bentonville Police Department and pay animal release fee before 4pm. The Rogers Animal Shelter closes at 4:30pm
-
Return to Rogers Animal Shelter the same day to pick up the animal.
