What we pick up

- Odor jobs where the animal has not been found yet
Dead animal removal in Fort Wayne
If you can smell it, the city will not come. Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control does not remove deceased wildlife from private property. We do.
What happens on the call
- You tell us where it is and how long it has been there.
- We give a price before we come. No surprise invoice.
- We remove the animal, bag it, and haul it off the property.
- If it is in a wall or attic, we locate it, pull it, and treat the area for odor.
Why people in Fort Wayne search this
The city's own page is clear: officers may help with a live, sick, or injured animal in a living space. They do not pick up a dead raccoon under your deck. That leaves homeowners calling a private crew. Waiting makes the odor worse and draws flies, so same-day pickup is the whole job.
