Animal Control

Animal Control is responsible for enforcing city ordinances regarding stray, dangerous, nuisance and unwanted domestic animals; investigates complaints; patrols assigned areas; captures animals; performs other duties related to humane animal protection and control.

All domesticated animals inside the city limits of Slaton must be in a fenced area or restrained on a leash at all times.  Failure to keep domesticated animals restrained can result in impounding of the animals, citations, and/or fees.  The City of Slaton does enforce Texas rabies vaccination requirements.
