Howdy, Partner! The mission of the Alvarado Department of Animal Control is to balance the health, safety and welfare needs of the people and animals in our City. Our mission is accomplished by working with our citizens and other animal welfare organizations; by enforcing the animal laws of Texas as well as the City of Avarado, providing educational programs and humanely providing care, nourishment and a safe environment for the unwanted, stray, abused and abandoned animals in our City.
