Also during this holiday season as you are shopping for presents for your own pets, remember to pick up something for those dogs and cats who are not so fortunate. The shelter can always use those above ground beds, they are easy to keep clean and help to keep the dogs off the cold concrete.

The Portales Police Department provides full-service animal control to all residents within the Portales city limits. Animal Control Officers attend state certification classes and are trained to handle calls for service that involve domestic animals or wildlife. The Division provides patrol service six days per week and may be called out after hours in case of an emergency.
All dogs and cats kept within the city limits must get a Portales city license. This license can be picked up at the Animal Shelter. Owners should bring proof of vaccination for their pet(s). The license costs $5.00 per year. In addition to the individual animal registration, Animal Control is responsible for issuing Domestic Livestock, Residential Multi-Animal and Commercial Permits.
The Department encourages responsible pet ownership and has many dogs and cats that are available for adoption. It is your responsibility to ensure the following ordinances are adhered to with your pets within City limits:
