Lost and Found

Foster Program and “Foster Saturday”

The Bryan Animal Center (BAC) has animals who may need homes during their transition period.  Foster homes are one way for deserving animals to receive care before being adopted.
Individuals and organizations interested in partnering with the BAC to provide foster care, should complete the Foster Care Application form and submit it to BAC staff.  Foster homes are responsible for the foster animal, including food, shelter, social skills, and a loving environment.

Don’t Forget About Foster Saturday!

Don’t forget about our fantastic fosters! Join us every Saturday from 12 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. to view a handful of our adoptable fosters at the Bryan Animal Center! We would love for you to come out and have a meet and greet with the fosters that are out here!

Fosters are wonderful to adopt because they have already been in a home! Some of them are house-trained, crate-trained, and may even know basic obedience skills! What more could you ask for?

How about a discounted adoption fee! All our fosters are considered VIP (Very Important Pets) and have discounted adoption rates! The adoption fee includes their spay/neuter, de-worming, basic vaccinations, microchip, and a heartworm/feline disease test!

Now all you have to do is come in and ADOPT! Please call 979-209-5260 if you have any further questions. We will see you this Saturday!

Option 1 – Maintain Complete Anonymity and Confidentiality

Call the non-emergency police dispatch number at (979) 361-3888 and make an Anonymous Complaint. Option 1 allows complete confidentiality and you will remain anonymous.

  1. Make an anonymous noise complaint to the police dispatch operator, but DO NOT give your name, address, or contact number.

  5. The ACO may issue a warning advising the owner about a complaint alleging excessive barking or noise and action is needed to resolve the problem, or a citation may be issued if an ACO witnesses the violation.
  6. Since this is an anonymous complaint, with no contact information given, there will not be a follow up call to the complainant.
  7. If the problem continues, please see Option #2 or #3.

Option 2 – Personal Information May or May Not Be Kept Confidential

Call the non-emergency police dispatch number at (979) 361-3888. Option 2 may or may not keep your personal information confidential.

  1. Provide dispatch your contact information and address of the problem dog(s).
  2. The dispatch operator will generate a service call for Animal Control to respond.
  3. An ACO will patrol the area and attempt to witness the barking.
  4. The ACO may issue a warning advising the owner about a complaint alleging excessive barking or noise and action is needed to resolve the problem, or a citation may be issued if an ACO witnesses the violation.
  5. An officer will contact you with follow up information, if requested.
  6. If the problem continues, please see Option #3.

Option 3 – You Will Not Remain Anonymous, and You May Be Required to Testify in Court

Call the non-emergency police dispatch number at (979) 361-3888 and let them know you wish to file an Application for Complaint or you can download the forms below. Option 3 may require you to testify in court and you will NOT remain anonymous.

  1. The dispatch operator will generate a service call for Animal Control to respond.
  2. A person may file a formal complaint against the owner by completing the Application for Complaint and a Complaint Log (a.k.a. Bark Log).
  3. Animal Services will deliver, mail, or make the forms available for you to pick up at the Animal Center or you may download forms linked below.
  4. When you receive the packet, complete both forms and deliver or mail original copies to Animal Services at the address (2207 Finfeather Road, Bryan, TX 77801) or call (979) 361-3888 for pick up.
  5. Upon receipt of the completed forms (i.e. Application for Complaint and Complaint Log), if there are credible witnesses and sufficient evidence (e.g. completed bark log, witnesses statements, date stamped audio/video recordings) to support a criminal prosecution, Animal Services will recommend the case to the City Attorney’s Office to accept the charges against the animal owner.
  6. An ACO will follow up with you once a recommendation has been determined. If it is determined sufficient evidence exists to substantiate the complaint, the complainant will be given instruction on how to proceed.
  7. Note: If legal action is taken and a trial is set, you will be subpoenaed and required to testify in court. All information submitted during this step will be public record and may be released in accordance to the Public Information Act.
