I am not familiar with the area that you live in, but where I live, it is relatively easy.  An Animal Control Officer is usually a government job, but it is known that different non-profit organizations do hire their own officers.  If you apply for the government position, you can easily find the job posting either at the courthouse or post office if an opening is available.  The positions for the non-profit organizations is usually posted on their website, but I would stay far away from PETA!!! I donate to the ASPCA. What I would do to land the job is gain some experience by working in a vet's office first, so you can place that on a resume' and gain more knowledge for the interview.

Hope this helps.
