ANIMAL CONTROL

“Garden Ridge has a warm heart for cold noses.”

Feeding of deer is discouraged; however, if so inclined, please utilize products of some nutritional value. Feed corn does not fit this criterion.

The City of Garden Ridge is pet friendly.

Every effort is made to return lost pets as soon as possible. If your pet is lost, check with the city first by called 651-6831. In this regard, pet registration is required yearly in January, with proof of rabies vaccination. A tag is issued with each registration and it is encouraged that it be affixed to the collar of any domestic animal you own. The cost of the annual registration fee is $5.00 per pet.
City Ordinance 18 does specify that no pet be allowed to roam freely with voice control.

Apply for license.
