What to do for an animal emergency in Fallbrook

On a recent afternoon, someone abandoned a dog at the library. Animal Control was on the scene, rescuing the poor pup, just before closing. Unfortunately, the Animal Services officer had to come from elsewhere in the county, so it was a 45-minute wait for them to arrive.

If you have an animal emergency and require immediate help, 911 may be the best bet because that connects with the sheriff here in Fallbrook. However you can also call Animal Services (based at the county animal shelter in Carlsbad) directly at 619-767-2675.
