Knowledge Base

Wild animals often will choose to live in residential areas. These animals can be entertaining to watch, but may also cause property destruction and become a nuisance. If you are experiencing an issue with wildlife, you can refer to our animal control webpage on the City of Thornton website (external link) for further information, consult the Colorado Parks and Wildlife main website (external link), the Colorado Parks and Wildlife webpage on living with wildlife (external link), or contact a local wildlife re-locator.

Thornton Animal Control does not handle nuisance wildlife. They will, however, respond if a wild animal is sick or injured.
