Please note: Deceased animal impound services for animals on private property will be provided for a fee based on the type and weight of the animal.
We prioritize all of our Field Service calls based on public safety. Deceased animal reports will be handled as quickly as possible, though it may take up to three days for removal.

These areas include crawl spaces, attics, cliffs, condemned buildings, creek beds, hillsides and other unsafe locations.
