Animal bites must be reported to the Police Department by calling 9-1-1 or (361) 777-4444. Controlling the Pet Population
The City of Portland encourages the spaying (females) and neutering (males) of all pets to help control overpopulation. A veterinarian can safely perform the procedures on a pet at around 8 weeks of age. All pets adopted from the city’s animal shelter are required to be spayed / neutered. For more information about spaying and neutering, please view information from The Human Society of the United States.

!!UPDATE!!
Our tortoise friend is in fact a Texas Tortoise. We kept it overnight to ensure it was healthy enough for release and since it is it has been released near the area where it was captured. Just as a reminder, the Texas Tortoise is native wildlife and is a protected nongame animal. This means that it is illegal for a person to take and/or keep.

** Update went to Rescue **
Hello there, I'm Dahlia. I'm a sweet and gentle soul, a bit shy but oh-so-friendly once I get to know you. The shelter is a bit scary for me, but I'm doing my best. I love to play, I'm mellow and goofy too. I might do something silly just to see you smile. I'm loyal, always by your side, ready for a cuddle or a game. I'm spayed, so no worries there. I might take a little time to come out of my shell, but I promise, I'm worth it. Adopt me, and let's fill our days with love and laughter.

Several outbreaks of canine distemper virus (CDV) are occurring in the Corpus Christi area.

🚨Signs of distemper: include nasal discharge, coughing, lethargy and neurological signs 🚨

Be aware that distemper is a highly contagious and sometimes fatal viral disease that affects dogs, and unfortunately, it has impacted our area despite ongoing efforts to maintain a healthy & vaccinated community for the animals in the Coastal Bend.
Vaccinations for your pets are of the utmost importance. With these vaccinations, CDV is preventable, and we encourage all pet owners to ensure their pets are up to date on these vaccinations.

Do not take unvaccinated or under vaccinated dogs/puppies to public areas, dog parks or stores.

Check with your veterinarian to make sure your pet’s vaccinations are current. If you do not have a current veterinarian, vaccinations can be received at PAAC, STAR or on clinic dates at Gulf Coast Humane Society

**Update a local a Portland resident was able to get this Handsome fella in their home. He got a bath and is being pampered daily. **

We've been attempting to capture this dog for the past three days. Please avoid chasing him, as we need him to stay in a specific area so we can set a trap to catch him. Every time an Animal Control Officer tries to approach, he runs down the road. He was seen yesterday on Memorial Pkwy and has now made his way to Northshore Blvd. Thank you for your cooperation!

**Sent to Rescue** A rescue has committed to tagging mom and pups if there’s a committed foster for them. The rescue will pay for all medical costs and provide supplies so there is no out-of-pocket expense for the foster. If you're interested in fostering, Please contact Portland Texas Animal Care Services at 361-777-4444.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the incredible animal rescues and the dedicated fosters who have worked alongside them to support our shelter this year in saving the lives of 161 animals. Your unwavering dedication, tireless networking, and the countless hours of work filled with tears, sweat, and immense love have been nothing short of inspiring. The selflessness of the fosters opening their hearts and homes to these animals has made all the difference. Without your commitment and compassion, none of this would have been possible. We are deeply thankful for your partnership, and we know that together, we’ve made a real impact in the lives of these animals. From the bottom of our hearts here at Portland Texas Animal Care Services , thank you for everything you do. Here are just a few Rescues we like to Thank, sorry if we missed anyone. Thank You @lappdogrescue @kaninesandkitties @gulfcoasthumanesocietycc Fallen Horse Rescue, Casa Verde Cats, Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado, Texas Cat Coalition, Inc, Hoover's Hause All Dog Rescue, Amos Rehabilitation Keep - Ark at UT Marine Science Institute, Pee Wee's Pet Adoption World and Sanctuary, Casa Verde Cats, Capra Vida Animal Rescue, and Edgar and Ivy's Cat Sanctuary

Apologies for the late update! The friendly adoption competition between the Police Department and the Fire Department has a winner. Drum roll, please... The Police Department takes the crown by just one adoption! The Fire Department was hot on their heels with 9 adoptions, but the Police Department edged them out with 10. We did have one return out of the 20 total adoptions, but it's still a big win for all our furry friends. Thank you, City of Portland Police Department and Portland, Texas Fire Department , for your participation! Sorry we could not include all the adoption pictures in the video it passed the limit amount.
