Volume 12, Issue 8 August 2015

Published Monthly by the Winchester Country Civic Association

The Board has received complaints about the increase in the number of stray animals in our neighborhood. Kind hearted people are feeding these animals which can lead to an increase in their population as well as a possible health hazard. Leaving food out can attract rodents and other wild animals. It also may make you be considered as the animal’s owner (see the last paragraph).

The Harris County Public Health & Environmental Services (HCPHES) Veterinary Public Health Division is responsible for the regulation of animal control in Harris County.

The Harris County Rules to Control Rabies require that the all dogs and cats be physically restrained at all times.

Restraint is defined as the control of a dog or cat under the following circumstances:(1) When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in length, if the

line or leash is held by a human being who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question; or

(2) When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle; or(3) When it is on the premises of the custodian and the animal does not have access

to a street or sidewalk. It further provides for the apprehension of dogs and cats found in violation of this

regulation. HCPHES Veterinary Public Health provides a humane, live trapping program for those animals that cannot be apprehended using traditional methods. Information about this program can be obtained by calling 281-999-3191 or at www.countypets.com. People should Micro-Chip their pets to aid in the recovery of their animals if they are apprehended. HCPHES Veterinary Public

Health offers Micro-Chipping Services to pet owners in Harris County for a fee. Your vet can also provide this service.

Owners are defined as any person that harbors, shelters, keeps, controls, manages, possesses or has part interest in any dog or cat. It is a rebuttable presumption that the occupant of any premises on which a dog or cat remains for a period of seven (7) days or to which it customarily returns daily for a period of seven (7) days is harboring, sheltering or keeping the aforementioned dog or cat, within this definition. If a minor owns a dog or cat or other animal subject to the provisions of these Regulations, his or her parent, or guardian is deemed the custodian of such dog or cat or other animal.

Additional information on the subject can be found at www.hcphes.org.
