The Cheektowaga Dog Control Office is dedicated to serving our community by ensuring the safety and well-being of all dogs within our care. We prioritize rendering aid to animals in distress and fostering a secure environment for every pet and resident in our town.
Our roots in this community run deep, drawing from the spirit of the Erie-Seneca word Ji-ik-do-wah-gah, or “place of the crabapple tree.” We serve as a vital resource for our neighbors, handling everything from reuniting lost pets with their families to providing essential guidance on responsible dog licensing and local animal welfare laws.
Our team, led by Dog Warden Aaron Kandefer, works diligently to respond to animals in need throughout the town. We operate with a deep commitment to professionalism, ensuring that every dog we encounter receives the appropriate care and attention mandated by New York State agricultural and markets laws. When a licensed dog goes missing, our primary goal is to reunite them with their owners as quickly as possible.
We believe that a thriving community starts with responsible pet ownership. By keeping your dog licensed, tagged, and up-to-date with rabies vaccinations, you play a crucial role in creating a safer, happier environment for all pets in Cheektowaga. We are here to support you in maintaining these standards, ensuring your companions remain happy, healthy, and legally protected.
Whether you have questions about licensing your new dog or need assistance, we are ready to help. Please reach out to our office at (716) 686-3525 or via email at dogcontrol@cpdny.org to learn more about our services and how we can support you and your dog.
