We'd like to acknowledge our Animal Services Division. These are the ones who respond to aggressive/stray animal calls, nuisance calls, animal in distress calls, and every now and then get to play with the wildlife. Animals do not have a voice and our Haltom City Animal Services team goes above and beyond the call to be the voice for these animals.
Haltom City is very fortunate to have such great Animal Services Team. Working in multiple cities before coming here, Supervisor Morales said " I can proudly say that this the best team I have ever been a part of. It is an honor to lead a team with more then 30 combined years of experience.
To report an after-hours, animal-related emergency, contact the non-emergency Police dispatch line at 817-281-1000. For life-threatening situations, please call 911.
If you would like to volunteer at the shelter please call 817-222-7124 or stop by during operating hours to discuss volunteering opportunities.
