Animal Care & Control

By Lieutenant Ben Crum

Greetings from your local Animal Care and Control.

We have seen an uptick of animals roaming throughout Windcrest. These animals not returned to owner, have been vet checked and spayed or neutered. Check out Windcrest’s city website or come to our local adoption events to see the animals we have available. All animals available for adoption are current on vaccines, spayed/neutered with no adoption fees. In the past months have brought fresh faces and we need you to foster or adopt.

We have had dogs running loose and were able to return most of them same day back to their owners. Please check for any openings and loose boards on the perimeter of your fence. Reminder to register your pet with the city, have a collar with tags, and chip them with your current information. If you come across a dog or cat that you are pretty sure belongs to someone. Please first note your location, call our nonemergency line at 210-655-2666, and either keep an eye on the animal or contain it for us to get there and help find the owner. Dogs are kept 7 days for owner pick-up and then if an owner is not found, it becomes adoptable. We do not take in cats but will try to help to contact the owner if chipped or help you find a foster for misplaced kittens. Also, we are in need of fosters. Please if you would be willing to foster a dog or kittens contact us. We have dogs that need home experience and only you can provide that need. We also get calls for kittens found that need temporary homes till we can place them with new owners or back in the community with a TNR Caretaker.

Enjoy the warmer weather. Keep yourselves hydrated and your pet too!
