Okaloosa County launches animal control service for unincorporated areas

Okaloosa County residents living outside city limits now have a dedicated animal control service as the county rolls out the program starting today. According to county officials, the new service will handle animal-related calls and issues in unincorporated areas of Okaloosa County, filling a gap in coverage that previously existed in those regions. The move aims to provide more consistent and professional response to animal control emergencies and complaints across the county's outlying communities. Details on how residents can access the service and report animal issues are expected to be available through county channels.
