About Taylor Animal Control
The Animal Control Unit of the Taylor Police Department is currently allotted 1.5 animal control agents. When fully staffed, these animal control agents respond to calls for animal services seven days a week, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. They are also tasked with maintaining our animal shelter, working to seek adoptions of housed animal and in solving animal related problems in our community.
Under certain circumstances, Taylor Animal Control can provide and service animal traps to assist in resolving animal related issues. If you believe your problem may be solved by having a trap placed in your yard, please contact Animal Control at (512) 352-5552.
