Redeeming animals impounded by Animal Services is done at the shelter during normal shelter hours. Any owner redeeming an animal from the shelter is responsible for the payment of impoundment fee(s) and may receive citations. A copy of the Redemption Agreement is listed below. Please remember to bring your pets current rabies vaccination paperwork from the vet and his/her proof of current City of Plano registration. If you think Animal Services has impounded your pet, please call us so that we can check our reports. Even if we do not have your pet, we can take a Lost/Found report and call you back if we hear anything about your pet.
Redemption Fees
*Along with the Impound fee is a Boarding fee of $10.00 a day starting with the day the animal was impounded.
+At the Fourth and subsequent Impounds, Animal Services has the right to file "Repeated At Large and/or Roaming" charges at the Municipal Court at the discretion of the Animal Services Officer. Also, by City Ordinance you must sign a contract guaranteeing that your pet will be spayed/neutered within 30 days to redeem you animal.
The fees listed above go by the number of times Animal Services has impounded your pet within the last 12 months. Each fee is by a per animal basis. (ex. If you have 2 dogs impounded for the first time and they were at the shelter for 3 days then:
2 dogs x $20.00 first impound fee = $40.00
2 dogs X $10.00 a day boarding fee x 3 days = $60.00
Total Redemption Fee (impound + shelter) = $100.00)
