Austin Animal Control Phone Numbers

Capital building in AustinAustin is the capital of Texas and currently serves as the seat of Travis County. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation and is home to many families and pets. Anyone who visits will tell you it is a very “unique” place. It is no surprise then, that the way they handle animal control services and dog attack reporting is also different than other counties.

What is the Phone Number for Austin Animal Control?

If you need animal control service in the City of Austin, call 311 during normal business hours. If it is after hours or you are outside of the City in unincorporated parts of Travis County, then you call a City number: 512-974-2000. There is no separate Travis County Animal Control. The Travis County website gives that same City of Austin number.

Travis County does have its’ own set of leash laws that will apply if you are in the County, but outside the City. However, be aware that parts of Austin lie in two other counties as well. It is sometimes safe to check with multiple animal controls to be sure.
