Jensen said Kish is handling all animal control calls for Oxford.

The move came after Adrienne Croce, Oxford’s previous animal control officer, posted April 4 on the Friends of The Oxford Animal Shelter Facebook page that the previous day was her last day as the town’s animal control officer.

Croce wrote that it had been “a great honor” to serve the community and thanked residents, donors and the police department for their support.

“As much as I will miss this town, I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life,” Croce wrote.
