CAREER OPENING: Animal Control Officer
The Robinson Animal Control Officer strives to promote the control of animals in public places to protect public safety.
The City of Robinson has one Animal Control Officer (ACO) and the unit that is dispatched by the Robinson Police Department. ACO is on call 24 hours a day for emergencies and regular hours of operation are Monday- Friday, 8am-5pm. The ACO provides a professional and dedicated service to the residents of Robinson in the corporate city limits.
Services that the ACO provides are to investigate reports of animal cruelty and neglect, pick up stray animals, trap feral cats and relocate wildlife. The ACO also enforces all state laws and city ordinances relating to animal registration and complaints of abuse.
If you are aware of animals being abused or neglected, please call 162-0525. All callers may remain anonymous.
If you have a missing pet or livestock contact the Robinson Police Department to have a lost animal report filed. We have returned many pets this way.
The City Of Robinson contracts with the Waco Humane Society to shelter stray dogs and cats, surrendered pets, feral cats and livestock to name a few. The contact number for the Waco Humane Society is (111)754-1454 and is located at 2132 Circle Road. All charges that occurred while an animal stayed at the shelter are the responsibility of the owner and are payable to the Waco Humane Society.
Citizens who have wildlife that is a nuisance may request a trap to be set by the ACO. The ACO will relocate wildlife within a ten-mile radius. Traps are checked once a day and closed on weekends.
