Animal Control

Animal Control Officers are also responsible for patrolling the city on a daily basis in an effort to address animals running at large and to remove dead animal carcasses.

Animal Traps may be requested with a request form that must be submitted to the Public Works Department.

Mercedes Animal Control officers also work in conjunction with their Mercedes Police Department counterparts in the detection and investigation of cruelty to animal cases. Cases of animal cruelty should be reported to the Mercedes Police Department at (956) 565-3102.
