City of Taylor Animal Control

The City of Taylor has one of the only no-kill municipal shelters anywhere. This is thanks to great community volunteers and staff, wonderful partnerships with other shelters and rescue groups, and an outstanding community. Our mission is to help protect the health, safety and welfare of both people and animals in the community. Our Animal Control Officers are tasked with impounding any animal in violation of the current City Ordinance and may issue citations for any violation of the City Ordinance or applicable state law. The Animal Control Officers also work with rescue groups, volunteers, foster homes, and local citizens in an effort to place animals housed in our shelter in permanent homes. We are also working with volunteers to develop spay/neuter education programs.
