Deputy dog wardens, who are also certified humane officers, respond to dog abuse, abandonment and neglect, dogs running at large and other dog law violations. They serve the cities of Hamilton, Middletown, Monroe and Trenton and the townships and villages of Butler County, coordinated through local law enforcement. They sell dog licenses at residences during normal working hours. Removal of wild animals, including feral cats, is not a dog warden service.
