Animal Control for 2024

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).

Dogs:

For found dogs in Tilden Township, a resident may coordinate with the Tilden Township Police Department, (610) 562-9001 or can call Safety Net Sanctuary directly at (610) 944-8099 to make arrangements.

Cats:

For found cats in Tilden Township, a resident may coordinate directly with Safety Net Sanctuary at (610) 944-8099. Only cats that have a collar (showing domestication) or a microchip will be accepted. The Tilden Township Police Department does have a microchip scanner.

All other domesticated animals:

For advice on a situation with any other type of domesticated animal, please feel free to contact Safety Net Sanctuary at (610) 944-8099.
