DID YOU KNOW

Did you know that Schertz Animal Services offers a microchipping service? The City of Schertz has passed an ordinance that requires all cat and dog owners within the city limits of Schertz to have their pets microchipped. This ordinance eliminates the annual requirement for citizens to register their pet with Schertz Animal Services. A microchip greatly increases the likelihood that a pet will be returned to its owner if lost.

Did you know that you can borrow tools from the Schertz Community Tool Shed to complete your home projects? The Tool Shed presented by the Neighborhood Services Division contains a collection of hand and gas power tools that can be used at no cost by residents, businesses, and community groups to clean and improve their properties. Residents are able to reserve equipment online by going to Schertz.com/toolshed and creating an account. Equipment is available to borrow by appointment only for use up to 3 days per reservation. Saturday pick-up and return hours are offered on the first weekend of each month. Tools can be delivered upon request. Proof of residency is required when borrowing any item.

Go to Schertz.com/toolshed to reserve your equipment and call Neighborhood Services at (210) 619-1650 if you have any questions

Get your pets microchipped at the Schertz Animal Adoption Center for only $15! Proof of rabies vaccine is required for the microchip. If you have any questions, contact Animal Services at (210) 619-1550.
