Waite Park Stray Animal Fees

 
All stray animals found in Waite Park will be taken to Central Minnesota Animal Care & Control (CMACC), located at 1021 S. Benton Drive, Sauk Rapids, MN 56379.  

Before claiming an animal at CMACC, the owner must first pay a $60.00 at-large fee, plus any on-call fees for a city employee to pick up the animal, and also license the animal, if not already licensed in the City.  Current proof of rabies must be furnished.

If the owner claiming the stray is not from Waite Park, they will still need to pay CMACC the at-large fee, plus any on-call fee for a city employee to pick up the animal, before the animal will be released.
