The animal control officer in Dunkirk and Fredonia is leaving the job.

Denise Hodkin Zentz said last week she is resigning from all three jurisdictions she serves — the town of Dunkirk, the city of Dunkirk and the village of Fredonia — effective Dec. 1.

When the Fredonia Board of Trustees accepted her resignation last week, Trustee EvaDawn Bashaw said Zentz was dissolving her business. Zentz confirmed this on Tuesday.

A former Dunkirk and Fredonia police officer, Zentz was only hired as Fredonia’s animal control officer in August.
