English term or phrase: Animal control officer
"An animal control officer may be an employee of a municipality (...) charged with the responsibility of responding to calls for service ranging from stray animals to investigations of cruelty to animals and dog fighting, and bringing them to a compound or animal shelter, where the animals are held for a certain time before being returned to their owners, put up for adoption, released back into the wild, or euthanized. "

In altra parole, l'evoluzione politically correct dell'accalappiacani. Sapete se esiste un equivalente italiano non limitato ai cani? (Per ora ho "Agente tecnico del Servizio veterinario della Asl")
grigua
vigile veterinario
Explanation:
Come ho già spiegato in Italia la figura professionale descritta nel testo è rappresentata da 2 figure: il vigile veterinario e l'accalappiacani. Ma credo che tradurre l'espressione con vigile veterinario renda bene l'idea, sebbene poi le funzioni sono un po' diverse. In pratica il vigile non raccoglie fisicamente gli animali per portarli al rifugio
