1. How does Animal Services handle lost and found animals?

The Animal Services Division keeps a running log of lost and found animals.

Anytime you are missing a pet or have found someone else's pet, report it to our division immediately. We have been successful in reuniting many pets with their owners through this service.

We encourage the adoption of unclaimed animals. If you are considering pet ownership, please consider a homeless pet. For further information or looking for a pet to adopt, please contact our division Animal Control at 210-659-1999. We also use the website PetFinder.com.

2. Is my pet required to be registered with the City?

Yes. By ordinance any canine or feline that is more than four months of age is required to have a current rabies vaccination and to have a microchip implanted.  The cost of the microchip is $15 and includes registration.  If the animal is current on the rabies and already has a microchip implanted, there is no cost, but proof of the rabies vaccination and microchip number is required for registration.  Registration must be renewed, whenever the rabies vaccination expires, so records can be verified as correct and updated as needed.  Registration and microchipping can be performed in person at the Cibolo Animal Services Facility at 108 Cibolo Drive Building 3.  For questions on this process, please contact Cibolo Animal Services at 210-659-4851. All pets should wear a current rabies tag at all times. Please consult with your veterinarian for full details of vaccination requirements.

3. What can I do about bothersome wildlife in my area?

Cibolo is home to an abundant wildlife population. Locally you will frequently find squirrels, opossums, raccoons, skunks, bats, snakes, nutria, and deer.

All of these animals adapt readily to a suburban environment, so their presence in your community is normal. We encourage you to live in harmony with wildlife. Simple measures can often alleviate conflicts between humans and wild animals.

4. Is trapping and transporting animals allowed?

The trapping of a wild animal should always be the last resort.

The transport of certain wild animals is not allowed, and there are restrictions on how far a professional may take them so to trap an animal only to have it relocated it a short distance away will not cure your problem. Eliminating factors on your property will make your home less desirable for wildlife to make it their home.
