Tips for
-
Always keep an identification tag on your pet,
including the pet’s name and a valid phone number to call if they are found.
Ask your vet about micro-chipping.
-
Keep a good, current photo of your pet in case
it goes missing
-
Do not assume your pet will come home on its
own - report your lost pet immediately
Found Pets
If you have found
an animal and would like it to be picked up, contact the city’s service helpline
by dialing 311, or 409-980-8311. Found animals or other surrenders can be
brought to the shelter Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
If you would prefer to keep the pet in your home and
search for the owner, we recommend that you bring the animal in to have it
scanned for a microchip, and fill out a found pet report.
