The proximity of Sausalito to the beautiful Golden Gate National Recreational Area means our citizens and their domestic animal companions will be exposed to a variety of local wildlife.
To help protect our wildlife, ourselves and our animals, the City of Sausalito has a number of Municipal Code sections regarding animal control.
To report a dog off leash, please call (415) 289-4170.

A barking dog can be an annoyance, however it might not be a police matter at first.
There are some criteria to consider before calling the police; please consult the Sausalito Municipal Code section on habitual animal noise before you call.
