Q: What do I do if I found injured or orphaned wildlife?

A:

While League City Animal Care’s Animal Protection Officers work primarily with domestic pets, they will also work with local rehabbers and transporters to help injured or orphaned wildlife or wildlife that is inside a human dwelling. Learn more about wildlife here. Please note that officers will not respond to calls to remove healthy wildlife from their natural habitat.

Q: What do I do if I found a stray animal?

A:

Most animals are found close to home (on average, just a few houses away!) and a neighbor has a MUCH higher chance of helping a pet get home to their family than a shelter does. If you’re able to hold onto a stray pet temporarily while you look for the owner, you’re upping the odds that they’ll find their family while also helping shelters save space for sick or injured animals most in need!

Q: How can I get help rehoming my pet?

A:

We offer a Home to Home program that allows pet owners to place their pet in a new loving home themselves! We also have several programs in place designed to help you keep your pet instead of surrendering them to a shelter. Learn more about these programs and rehoming a pet here.

Q: Do I need a pet license in League City?
