A Message from the Director...
Hello and thank you for stopping by!  Bryant Animal Control began as a department consisting of one officer, a single truck and a contract to house stray animals with the City of Malvern.  As the only officer for the City in 1999, I wore many hats as I tried to enforce the City ordinances, transport animals to the Malvern Shelter, and provide information to our citizens about proper pet care. 

Today, as Director, I find that I still wear many hats.  I am an administrator, a caregiver, a teacher and an enforcement agent.  Many of our citizens have visited the shelter and remark on its bright and cheery atmosphere and our staff's caring attitude. 

I am proud to serve the citizens of Bryant each and every day.  I have learned so much during my time with the City and look forward to many more years of service.

Seasonal Announcements...Welcome Spring!
Its starting to warm up and that means it is time for fleas and ticks!  YIKES!  Stop by your veterinarian's office and make sure you have everything you need to keep fleas and ticks off of your pets this spring and summer.

Make sure your pet is wearing his or her City license and at least one other form of ID.  A lost dog or cat can become a tragedy, if we can't find you.
