Animal Control Officers don’t always get the spotlight, but they’re out there every day doing the work that keeps our community safe, and our animals cared for.

From responding to calls at all hours to reuniting lost pets with their families, these officers handle it all with compassion, patience, and a whole lot of heart. They see the tough situations and still show up ready to help.

This week, we’re celebrating the Animal Control Officers who serve our community day in and day out. Thank you for the work you do, the care you give, and the difference you make for both people and pets.

Say hello to Ozzy 🐾 (A078860)

Ozzy has been hanging out with us and quietly winning hearts along the way. This handsome brown tabby is the perfect mix of curious and calm. He enjoys watching the world from a cozy spot, but he is always ready to lean in for some gentle pets. Ozzy has a soft, sweet personality and those soulful eyes that make it hard to walk away.

He may start off a little observant, but once he feels comfortable, his affectionate side shines through. If you are looking for a laid back companion who will happily keep you company, Ozzy might be your guy.

He has plenty of love tucked into those whiskers just waiting for the right home. Could Ozzy be the purr-fect addition to your fur-ever family? 🐱💛

Spring means warmer weather, blooming flowers… and lots of baby animals! 🐣🌸

If you come across a baby animal, your first instinct might be to help, but in many cases, the best thing you can do is give them space. Wild parents often leave their babies alone for short periods while they search for food.

Here’s what to do:
🐾 Observe from a distance. If the baby looks healthy and isn’t in immediate danger, mom is likely nearby.
🐾 Leave them where they are. Moving them can actually reduce their chances of survival.
🐾 Keep pets and people away. This helps prevent stress and gives the parent a chance to return.
🐾 Only intervene if necessary. If the animal appears injured, is in immediate danger, or you’re certain it’s been orphaned, contact us at (254) 298-5732.

Well-meaning help can sometimes do more harm than good. When in doubt, give wildlife the space they need to grow and thrive.
