Animal Control

If you are experiencing an Animal Control issue, please call our non emergency line (817) 275-1234, option 1, to let our dispatchers know of the issue and get you assistance. The city does not handle wildlife calls. Residents will need to call a wildlife service for matters dealing with wildlife. 

 

Animal Tag Program

We have implemented an Animal Tag Program within our city. Please come to the dispatch window anytime to fill out an animal information form and be assigned a tag. Place the tag on your animal's collar for easy identification by our staff so we can work to get your pets home safely should the need arise.
