Many people do not realize there has been a separation between city and county control over animals.  Apparently county picks up animals in their area and  takes them to El Paso Animal Control in El Paso.  They are paying a specific fee for this while they use money supplied them by the city of El Paso, around $114000.   If you have a dog that is a problem and live in the county you have to call the sheriff not animal services. This number is 915-546-2280 if it is an emergency which would constitute a bite to a human or mauling etc., 915-538-2210.  In El Paso city limits it is 842-1000 to pick up pets that are unwanted and or stray. If the dog or cat has bitten someone it is absolutely imperative you report this as a bite that draws blood can cause rabies if the pet is not vaccinated.  There is little chance of this as we haven’t had a case of domestic animal rabies in years and years.  In the 80s the county vet decided a calf had rabies and people were lining up to take the shots when Austin said the calf was clean. Who ever heard of a calf biting someone and causing rabies!  As a child I can recall seeing dogs running with rabies, they were rural and probably exposed to skunks, maybe squirrels or other wild animals. If you find a wild animal that does not run from you it is probably very sick.  You should leave it alone and call someone who knows how to handle this.  A wild life agency would be good, one here is Chihuahua Wildlife and phones available at 842-1000 and other agencies.  When you pass Loop 375 going east on Montana you enter the county.  If you live near county lines you should acquaint yourself about bounderies.  At this time in March 10 there is likely no true emergency care in the county but the city does have vet on duty most of the time but the injured pet must have been found in city limits.There is a real need to have numbers published for dead animal pick up, you can’t just toss a deceased pet in the trash.  Depending on where the pet is dead, you would call Tex Dot, or whomever handles that street for other matters, those who know whom to call are El Paso Sanitation Dept and Tex Dot, Animal Control at 842-1000.  If the dog is wearing a collar it is courteous to remove the collar and turn it in at Animal Control so they can notify a worried owner not to look any longer. Before we moved to McCracken address we used to pick up dead animals on Montana as a volunteer service so that children would not see and recall the horror.  Nowadays the pet lays there, a gory mess, for days no matter whom you call.  We no longer have funds to run the truck.
