Animal Control & Shelter

Dudley Animal Control services are restricted to dogs and cats only, with limited services for cats. Animal Control will assist only when a cat is injured and located and requires transportation to a veterinarian hospital for immediate care.

Wildlife calls, including rabid animals, nuisance and injured wildlife may be reported and will be handle by the ACO/Police Department, the state Environmental Police or referred to another agency.

The Animal Control Officer also assists the town with licensing and nuisance dog calls.


To contact Animal Control, please call the non-emergency Police line at 508-943-4411. 

The Dudley Animal Shelter is located on Indian Road near Highway Dept.
