Animal Control

The Animal Control Officer as well as the Antlers Police Department enforces the leash law. Our Dog Catcher picks up any stray dogs within the City Limits of Antlers. Once collected, the dogs are taken in the City Pound and are held for a minimum of 7 days.

There is a one time $25.00 adoption fee for dogs in the pound, who have been there for 7 days or longer.

If your dog has been picked up by the dog catcher, there is a $25.00 fee for the first day and a $10.00 daily fee that accrues every day that they sit in the pound. These fees are per dog, if more than one of your dogs are picked up at one time.

We also will take a surrender fee of $25.00 per dog, if you need to surrender your dog(s). These will immediately be eligible for adoption.

We do not take any cats, as they are considered feral animals. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. 

To report ferocious or dangerous stray animal, call the Animal Control Officer or the Antlers Police Department.
