Licensing your pet is one of the best ways to ensure that if they stray or get lost, they come back home to you. City ordinance requires all Round Rock residents to license their dogs and cats annually. Residents living outside the city limits are required to obtain a Williamson County license tag.

• License tags are $5.00 for spayed/neutered animals and $10.00 for intact animals.

Lost Pets

If your pet becomes lost, don’t give up. How carefully you search and how persistent and resourceful you are can determine whether or not your pet will be found.

• Look closest to home first
• Distribute flyers in your neighborhood
• Check with your local veterinary clinics
• Notify neighbors, search “found pet” ads in local newspapers, and visit the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter 

If you do not find your pet right away, contact other animal shelters in your area.
