Dog servicesin Lavon, TX

Lavon, TX contracts with Collin County Animal Services for animal control and sheltering, so a lost or found dog is reported to the county. Call 972-547-7292 or use the county's lost and found forms and search. The shelter is in McKinney. To reclaim your dog, bring the written rabies certificate from your vet, because the county says a metal rabies tag alone is not enough proof.

Lavon's animal code says every dog kept in the city must be in an enclosure strong enough to stop it from escaping, such as a fence around the yard, and a dog running loose is evidence that the enclosure failed. Pick up after your dog in parks and other public landscaped areas, and do not let it bark long or often enough to disturb the neighbors. Eagle Pond has a walking trail and a dog-waste station, but the city has no dog park.

After animal-control hours, the City of Lavon directs residents to call 911 for emergencies. For a non-emergency officer response, the police department sends callers to Collin County Sheriff's Office dispatch at 972-547-5350.
