Pets enhance our lives and can be important members of the family, but they come with responsibilities. Please remember to keep your dog on a leash when out walking. Harris County leash laws require that dogs remain on a leash and under the control of their owners when not secured on the owner’s property. These laws are designed for the safety of our residents and for the safety of your pet.

 

If you are having an issue with loud barking dogs, please call the Sheriff’s Department non-emergency number, 713-221-6000 (option 6). The state’s noise ordinance limit is 85 decibels. There are apps for your smart phone that check noise levels.

Please pick up your pet’s waste. Remember, just as you don’t like stepping in poop, neither does anyone else.

 

Lost a Pet?
Make sure your furry friend always wears his or her I.D. tags and rabies vaccination tags. It’s not only the law, but it could help you get your lost pet back.

If you find a pet, check the tags first. Contact the owner, or a veterinarian of the SPCA if no owner information is available.
If you lose or find a pet and can’t find an immediate solution, contact Special Pals lost and found at 281-579-7387.
