Animal Services
Cold and wet weather is approaching! Cedar Hill Animal Services are asking citizens to halt trapping during any wet conditions or temperatures under 40 degrees. If you have trapped wildlife call Animal Services before 10 AM to give Service Officers the chance to pick up the animal promptly.

The primary function and intent of Animal Services is to provide protection for the health, safety, and welfare of people and animals within the city. Animal Service Officers are responsible for responding to emergency and non-emergency situations concerning animals within the city and enforcing related state and local statutes. Every effort is made to humanely apprehend animals that have become a nuisance or a threat to any citizen. Impounded animals are taken to the Tri-City Animal Shelter.
All calls for Animal Services are handled through the dispatch center by dialing 911 or (972) 223-6111. Emergency calls are handled 24-hours a day, and non-emergency calls are handled during the on-duty hours of the animal service officers.
Animal Service handles issues related to nuisances, rabies, and bites.
