Animal adoptions are handled by the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter. 

As a Department, we love seeing animals in healthy and happy homes where they do well and are cherished.  If you are interested in providing that kind of home to an animal, we invite you to learn more about the adoption process.

Rabies is a terrible disease that is dangerous to animals and people.  The sooner we can confirm a rabies case, the better.  There are specific signs and symptoms that you can look for to gauge whether an animal may be rabid:

• Dehydrated or emaciated (skinny) appearance
• Walking in circles or clumsily walking with no apparent physical injury
• Failure to drink anything
• Nocturnal wildlife seen out during the day (extremely rare)

If you believe an animal is rabid, please call Animal Control immediately at 512-260-4622

Call 512-260-4622 to report loose animals. If Animal Control picked up your pet, it will be taken to the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter.

Animal Control can set up humane traps for wildlife on your property if requested.  Once a healthy animal has been trapped, please contact us and we will relocate them.  If you use a non-City owned trap, it is your responsibility to relocate them. A member of Animal Control will remove the animal only if it is injured or appears unhealthy.  More information on wildlife.

Animal Control does not remove bees or wasps.  If you are dealing with an issue involving one or both, please contact the pest control company of your choice to address the matter.  

Please call Animal Control at 512-260-4622 to report dangerous animals.  A member of the team will follow up for an evaluation and determination.

Animal bites can be dangerous so if an animal breaks, punctures, or tears skin, please call Animal Control (512-260-4622) as soon as possible.
