Weve got cats coming out of our ears, said the officer who often comes to work only to find that someone has tossed an unwanted dog or cat over the fence of the shelter.

For example, most people get upset when she tells them they must buy a tag for their dogs. She quoted them as saying, You just dont have the right to take my dog. Its only after she reads them the ordinance when they cool down. Men give her another argument.

Local woman trades office for animals By Joe Rolando Staff Writer Viki Jarvis left a world of ringing phones and typing to enforce Carbon Countys animal ordinances, and she doesnt regret it. I just dont like to be cooped up in an office doing secretarial work. I took this job mainly because I like animals, one of the first woman animal control officers for Carbon County told the Sun-Journal in an interview at the county animal shelter.

She may have still been a secretary if it hadnt been for a call she received from Barbara Koncher, president of the Carbon County Humane Society telling her about the job. Two or three years ago her efforts to become an animal control officer met resistance from public officials whom she said felt she could not handle the job. But Miss Jarvis has practical qualifications for the job. I grew up on a farm where we raised horses, rabbits, dogs and cats.

I just like animals, she said. Thats why it upsets her when she finds an animal which has been abused.
