* ONE OF OUR OWN — ADOPTED! *

We are happy to share some wonderful news from RGC Animal Control!

One of our own, Officer Axel Rodriguez, has officially adopted one of our dogs!

She was picked up from the streets and, unfortunately, no one ever came forward to claim her. After spending time at our facility, she has now found a loving forever home.

Officer Axel named her Nina!

We are so happy to see Nina go from the streets to a loving home — and even better, she gets to stay close to the RGC Animal Control family!

Congratulations, Officer Axel & Nina! We wish you both many happy years together!

*RGC Animal Control – Another Softshell Turtle Safely Relocated! *

RGC Animal Control responded to another wildlife call involving a softshell turtle!

We would like to thank the management at Border Town, located near Flores and Eisenhower Streets, for their assistance. After spotting the turtle in their parking lot, management carefully placed it in a crate and contacted our office for help.

Olmos Creek runs near the store, which may explain how the turtle made its way into the parking lot.

RGC Animal Control responded and safely relocated the turtle to a safe and more suitable habitat.

Thank you to the management at Border Town for looking out for our local wildlife and contacting us for assistance!

🚨🐾 RGC ANIMAL CONTROL – IMPORTANT COMMUNITY NOTICE 🐾🚨

RGC Animal Control is actively working in the areas of El Paseo Drive, Hermosa Street, and Gomez Street, where our officers have already picked up several roaming dogs.

⚠️ WE ARE SETTING UP HUMANE TRAPS IN THESE AREAS.
If you are a dog owner in these neighborhoods, PLEASE SECURE YOUR DOGS NOW! Do not allow your pets to roam freely through the streets.

* The traps and dog food being used will NOT hurt the animals. The traps are humane and are being used to safely contain roaming dogs so our officers can respond appropriately.

* If these are your dogs, it is your responsibility to keep them properly secured.

Allowing dogs to roam can put the animals, children, drivers, and other residents at risk. We need the cooperation of the community to address this ongoing problem.

PLEASE SHARE THIS NOTICE WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS.
Together, we can help keep our neighborhoods safe and our animals protected.
