Animal Intake Facility
In the heart of Trophy Club, the local Animal Intake Facility stands as a symbol of hope and compassion for pet owners and their furry companions. Officially recognized as a State-approved impoundment facility, its primary mission is to provide a safe haven for lost dogs while tirelessly working to reunite them with their loving families.
A Safe Refuge for Lost Dogs
The Trophy Club Animal Intake Facility plays a crucial role in the community as a place where lost dogs can find temporary shelter. Often, dogs are brought here when they become separated from their owners due to various circumstances. The facility ensures their well-being, offering a secure environment where they can stay until they are reunited with their families.
Not an Adoption Facility, But a Helping Hand
While not primarily an adoption facility, the Trophy Club center still extends its services beyond impoundment. If a dog is not claimed within 72 hours, the facility actively collaborates with partner rescue organizations to find suitable homes. This commitment to responsible rehoming ensures that every dog receives a chance at a better life.
24/7 Care and Swift Rescues
One of the facility's notable features is its round-the-clock care. Dogs housed here are provided with continuous attention, ensuring their comfort and well-being during their stay. Moreover, the center has established strong partnerships with rescue groups, allowing for the swift transfer of dogs to these organizations, further increasing their chances of finding forever homes.
The Strength of Responsible Pet Owners
The Trophy Club community prides itself on having responsible and caring pet owners who take great care of their four-legged family members. This responsible pet ownership significantly reduces the number of dogs that end up needing adoption, showcasing the community's commitment to its pets.
Impressive Statistics Reflect Success
The statistics from the Trophy Club Animal Intake Facility are a testament to its effectiveness in reuniting dogs with their owners:
- As of June 1, 2019, the facility has impounded a total of 107 dogs, averaging 26 per year.
- An astonishing 92% of impounded dogs, numbering 86, were successfully reunited with their owners.
- Only six dogs have been adopted through the facility, a testament to the strong bond between pets and their responsible owners.
- Fifteen dogs found their way to rescue organizations, further underlining the facility's commitment to providing every dog with a chance at a better life.
Register Rover: Strengthening the Bond
In conjunction with its efforts to ensure the well-being of pets, the Trophy Club Animal Intake Facility encourages all pet owners to Register Rover. This free pet registration program, accessible at https://www.trophyclub.org/RegisterRover, helps pet owners proactively safeguard their pets.
By registering your pet with Register Rover, you provide vital information that can expedite the process of reuniting lost pets with their families. It's a simple yet effective way to strengthen the bond between you and your furry companions while ensuring their safety and well-being.
Animal Control Officer Brian Hall says, “Microchipping is the best way to ensure your dog gets back home. However, our FREE Pet Tag Program, Register Rover, achieves the same result. Visit our Town website and submit a registration form online. I will hand deliver your pet’s tag.”
The Trophy Club Animal Intake Facility is not just a shelter but a lifeline for pets and their owners. Its dedication to reuniting families and promoting responsible pet ownership sets an exemplary standard for communities everywhere. As they continue their mission, the facility remains a beacon of hope for lost pets and a source of pride for the Trophy Club community.
