Animal Control and Impoundment

The Public Works Department enforces local ordinances regarding unrestrained, vicious, or nuisance animals. To inquire about an impounded animal, please call 817-617-3701. When a stray animal is picked up, staff holds the animal for seventy-two (72) hours in an attempt to find the owner or someone willing to adopt (if the owner is not found). After that, animals are transferred to the Mansfield Animal Shelter at 612 S Wisteria Street.

No-Fee Adoptions

Anyone who adopts a pet directly from the Town of Pantego can be reimbursed for the first set of required shots as well as a spay or neuter, if needed. The funding for this is provided by the Shamburger Endowment Fund.

• Proof of current rabies vaccinations
• Completed Pet Registration Application (PDF) (including microchip ID, if possible)
• $10.00 fee per spayed or neutered pet; $15.00 each, otherwise
