Attention Tilden Township residents.
As of 12/31/2023, the contract that the township had with the Berks County Animal Rescue League (ARL) has ended.
Due to the higher fees that ARL wanted for a contract renewal, the township has decided to go with another agency for animal control.
As of 01/01/2024, Tilden Township now has an animal control contract with Safety Net Sanctuary, 187 Houck Road, Fleetwood, PA 19522 (Ruscombmanor Township).
