Where do the Animal Control Officers take the animals they pick up?

Animal Control takes dogs to the Animal Care and Adoption Center in Longview TX. In Kilgore, we don't pick up cats, unless we see an injured one and then we will take it to the Animal Care and Adoption Center in Longview.

Wildlife picked up by Animal Control Officers is relocated and released in accordance with State and local laws.  Loose livestock such as horses and cows are taken into custody by the county Sheriff and/or deputies.
