Please help me find my humans! I was roaming around the Southern Oaks RV Park on Hwy 35 Bypass today. Management was nice enough to let me hang out in the office until the PAWlice came to pick me up. The paw-paw have nicknamed me Brownie, because I don't have a collar, tags, or microchip to identify me. I'm a very sweet and affectionate girl. I'm also well-groomed, clean, flea and tick free, and well fed. Someone has been taking good care of me. If you are my humans, or know who I belong to, call APPD Animal Control at 361-758-5224!

UPDATE: Owner called for their furbabies!

These two were found on the 500 block of S. Euclid Street. We are referring to them as Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The tan male is sweetly protective of the black/tan female. They are not microchipped, but they are both wearing collars. If you are their owner, or have information that can help us reunite them with their humans, please call the APPD non emergency number, 361-758-5224.

I got lost and now I'm with the Pawlice! I don't have a microchip or tags, but I belong to someone, because I was found wearing a very pretty collar! It is pink and studded with rhinestones. If you know who I belong to, or if you're my human, please call the Aransas Pass Police Department non emergency number! 361-758-5224, option 1.

These very sweet and friendly girls were found roaming in Gaslight Village on W. Matlock this morning. If you are their guardian or know who they belong to, please contact us at 361-758-5224 option 1.

UPDATE: Our adventurous friend has been reunited with his family. Thank you to those in the community that shared this post and offered info that assisted us in getting him home!

This sweet, handsome fella showed up at the Aransas Pass Police Department around 4:30 PM this afternoon. He was stressed out and stuck by one of our Dispatchers like velcro. He knew exactly where to go to ask for help!
He doesn't have a collar or tags, so we're calling him Odin. He does have a microchip and notification has been sent to the owners. We can only pray that it is current. If you know who he belongs to, please reach out to us at the APPD non emergency line, 361-758-5224, option 1.

Many of our furry, four legged citizens are afraid of fireworks. Protect them by keeping them secured inside or in their enclosures. Please refrain from calling 911 due to fireworks going off, dogs barking, or animals at large. 911 lines need to be open for emergencies. If your pets get out or become lost, use the police department non emergency line 361-758-5224, option 1 from the menu.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July holiday!

Julian the lemur has been placed into the custody of a USDA licensed facility that specializes in the care of non human primates.

After the mandatory time frame, if no owner has stepped forward, he will be transferred to a USDA licensed rescue facility yet to be determined.

04/18/2024

The notorious lemur that has captured the hearts and concerns of many in our community, has finally been caught! Aransas Pass local Spencer Bell, was able to catch the elusive lemur known as Julian, in a live trap last night around 7:00 PM.

Aransas Pass Animal Control arrived at the reported location where the lemur was safely transfered into our custody. Julian is resting quietly with plenty of food, water, and fresh produce.

For those wondering what comes next? Per city policy, Animal Control must give Julian's owner the opportunity to claim their property, therefore must hold the lemur for a minimum of 10

If the owner does not claim Julian at the end of 10 days, he will be transferred to the Ringtail Ranch Lemur Rescue in Lubbock, TX.

The new Aransas Pass Animal Control Officers would like to thank Mr Bell and the community for their assistance, support and patience in recovering Julian safely.

UPDATE: I have been safely reunited with my hoomans! Mom called the pawlice to report me missing. She described me really well and told them my name. I was super excited when the animal control officer called me by my name this morning! When they took me home I was so happy I couldn't stop wiggling and my hoomans couldn't stop smiling! Thank you to everyone that helped to spread awareness of my situation by sharing the original post about me.

Attention fellow citizens of Aransas Pass, I'm looking for my lost hooman(s)!

Reward: infinite tail wags and no more sad puppy eyes.

Aransas Pass Animal Control Officers found me this morning at 7:15 on South 13th St between W Palm Drive and W Nelson. I have misplaced my hooman(s) and would like to be reunited with them. I do not have a microchip or identifying tags, but I am a very sweet girl and I'm wearing a red collar.

On 3/30/2024 these shy, sweet girls were discovered at large together, at Don-ell RV Park, 128 E Myrtle, Aransas Pass. It was reported that the dogs had been roaming the park for at least 3 days prior to their capture. Neither dog was wearing a collar or tags. They are not microchipped.

We have been calling them Daisy and Delilah. Its possible they came from the same household because they seem quite attached to each other.
