As previously indicated, to report issues such as these please contact the city’s Animal Control Division directly at 505-891-5075, or visit the city’s Web site at http://www.ci.rio-rancho.nm.us and click on the “Citizen Question Forms” link located on the left side of the main home page (there is an Animal Control Division form available).

If the issue is occurring outside the division’s normal hours of operation (Monday - Saturday: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), please call the non-emergency dispatch number at 505-891-7226.

Please note that the Observer’s See Click Fix system does not provide/require that any contact information is listed/provided so that city staff can follow-up with you directly if they need to or have questions.

Furthermore, posting concerns about a barking dog to the system on a weekend night will not get this information to city staff in a timely manner. That is why it is advised you call the non-emergency dispatch number at 505-891-7226 if the issue is occurring outside the Animal Control Division’s normal hours.

I have called non-emergency, to no avail, filed with animal control, no help again. Posting here at least provides an outlet for the frustration.

Please contact the city’s Animal Control Division during normal operating hours as a follow-up to verify if officers have been able to observe the barking in question, if a notice was left at the property in question, or if the matter is in the process of being taken to Municipal Court.

and 8-10 hrs yesterday of barking along with cooling temps and they still have no shelter and were closed out of the patio area, these are short haired dogs going into near freezing temps this week.

and yet it continues, hour after hour after hour.
