Domesticated Animals

The Orland Park Police Department staffs one full time civilian Animal Control Officer, however, an officer will respond to any call regarding a domesticated animal within the corporate limits of the Village of Orland Park.   This includes, but is not limited to, loose running dogs or barking dogs.  If a domesticated animal is found loose running, within the Village, the animal will be transported to the Animal Welfare League facility located in Chicago Ridge.  Domesticated Animals impounded under Village ordinances will be released to their owners only after the owner reports to Orland Park Police Headquarters and is issued appropriate ordinance citation(s) at which time a receipt for the animal may be taken to the impoundment facility.  The owner of the animal shall be responsible for any impoundment fees that accrue and must make such payment at the Animal Welfare Facility prior to release of the animal.  Unclaimed animals are euthinized if not claimed or adopted under the policies and procedures of the Animal Control League.
