Animal
Services makes every possible attempt to return lost pets
to their families. Registration tags make this process MUCH
easier and faster. Town Ordinance requires all dogs, cats,
pot-bellied pigs and ferrets to be registered with the Town,
and each registered animal is required to wear their registration
and rabies tag at all times.
Even
with all our best efforts, animals do lose their collars or
tags and can end up at the local animal shelter. As soon as
you notice your pet is lost, please notify the Police Department
and Animal
Services - (682) 831-4659, or Police Dispatch - (972)
434-5500, to see if we have your pet or to provide contact
information should we locate your pet. Please report found
pets to (972) 434-5500. Remember - never approach or handle
wildlife, instead call Animal
Services.

Ordinance
Enforcement
For everyone's protection, the Town requires through ordinance
that ALL dogs, cats, ferrets and potbellied pigs be registered.
You can register your pet(s) by bringing in the pet's rabies
verification certificate along with a one time registration
fee of $5.00 per pet, payable to the Town of Trophy Club.
PLEASE
do not allow your pets to roam. Town Ordinance requires dogs
to be leashed and "picked up after". Pets found without a
leash, and/or without their registration / rabies tags will
be impounded and may be cited. Impound fees for the shelters
are $40.00 for the first day and $30.00 for each day thereafter.

Feeding
the Ducks
Please refrain from feeding birdseed to the ducks. Instead,
please use waterfowl seed. Birdseed can cause deformities
in duckling's feet.
If
you are interested in becoming a foster parent, please
contact the Trophy Club Animal Services Department at
682-831-4659 or for more information, contact Animal
Services.
