Animal Control
The City has a leash law, please make sure all pets are leashed.
Lost Pets & Hutto Animal Shelter
Hutto Animal Control works hard to reunite lost pets with owners. When a pet is found, it's scanned for a microchip. If microchipped the owners are contacted immediately (Always keep owner information current). If a found animal is not microchipped, our team reaches out to several Hutto area pet forums via social media to post pictures and contact information within minutes of pick-up.
If an owner cannot be reached, depending on a variety of factors, lost pets will either be brought first to the temporary holding facility in Hutto or to the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Georgetown. It is the policy of the Williamson County Animal Shelter to hold unidentified animals (cannot locate an owner) for 72 hours after their arrival and identified animals (owners identified but not able to locate) are held for 5 days. After the animal hold times expire, the animals will be eligible to the public for adoption. Visit the Lost and Found online forum.
Shelter Fee
If a pet is sheltered overnight at the temporary holding facility in Hutto, a fee of $60 will be assessed and must be paid prior to being permitted to pick the pet up.
