Animal Control
The City of Orange Animal Control Department operates under the supervision of the Orange Fire Department.
Because the shelter employs only three full-time officers, it sometimes closes without notice so the officers may handle emergency situations. The shelter will reopen once the emergency situation has been resolved. If there is a problem in your area, please call the shelter at 409-883-1056. If there is no answer, please leave a message and the officers will get back to you as soon as possible.
