City of Midlothian, Texas - Animal Services

Visit us to see available pets, view found pets, or get help with lost/found. We’re proud to serve our community with compassion and care. The Animal Control Department provides response for complaints concerning domestic animals, reptiles and livestock. We only accept stray loose animals found inside Midlothian city limits. If you find an animal outside of the city, please contact the shelter for

that area. This is the same for pet surrenders which are accepted by appointment only with limited availability. The Animal Control Officer is responsible for impounding animals that are stray, quarantining animals which have bitten humans, and disposing of dead animals.
