Loud or Barking Dogs
Barking dog complaints are investigated by the Cedar Hill Animal Control office. To report a dog that barks loudly and frequently, contact the Regional Dispatch at 972.223.6111.

Animals Running At-large

City ordinances prohibit dogs from running at-large within the City limits. Cats must be restricted to the owner's premises at all times.  It is recommended that cats be kept inside at night.

If you find a dog or cat at large within the City limits you can either call 972.223.6111 or bring the dog or cat to the Tri-City Animal and Adoption Center during the following times:

  • Monday - Friday: 10 am to 6 pm 
  • Saturday: 10 am to 2 pm

Other
City ordinances also prohibit:
  • Aggressive behavior to people or other animals
  • Chasing vehicles

What you can do
If the Animal Control Officer does not witness these violations, he is prohibited to act upon the complaint. In such cases, the City suggests the following actions:
 
  1. Talk to the owner of the animal. The owner may not realize the animal is creating a problem.
  2. Send a certified letter (return receipt requested) to the owner stating the problem.
  3. Swear a complaint with the Municipal Court, located at 502 Cedar Street. To contact the Municipal Court by phone, please call 972.291.5100 ext. 1040.
