Report a coyote

Report a coyote

A minute of structured detail turns a one-off scare into something the Council can actually act on — and helps your neighbors, too.

This isn't for emergencies.

If someone is hurt or in immediate danger, call 911. To reach animal control about an aggressive, sick, or injured coyote, contact OC Animal Care. This form helps the Council understand the bigger picture — it doesn't dispatch a response.

Reports are anonymous unless you choose to leave your contact. We ask only for a general area — never an exact address — and we never publish your name, contact, or precise location.
