Garland Animal Services

The Garland Animal Shelter has live traps which Garland Residents can borrow for Nuisance animals such as Raccoons and Opossums. The traps must be picked up because Animal Control will not deliver them and they require a fully refundable deposit of $25.00 for small traps and $50.00 for larger traps. When the animal is caught, call the animal shelter at (972)205-3570 and press 4. They will dispatch an animal control officer to pick up the trap and the animal. The trap can be kept for 6 days or longer if requested; if you do not call then they will keep the deposit.

Sir. Fixalot Animal Trapping Services

Keith will follow the Garland Animal Services guidelines to help neighbors in trapping animals. Here is the process to get Sir Fixalot (Keith) to assist setting Garland's Live traps within the Garland City limits:

• He will pick up the trap at the Animal Shelter and pay the deposit.

• He will deliver the trap and bait it.

• He will show the owner the receipt for the deposit and they will pay him back. 

• After the animal is caught...

  • The owner will call the animal shelter number at (972)205-3570 and Press 4.

  • Place a request for the Animal Control to pick up the animal and the trap.

  • Then call Keith at 972-414-3272 to let him know the animal has been caught.

• Keith will then go back to the shelter, collect the deposit and return it to the owners house.

• Keith will charge his normal hourly rate with a ceiling of two hours and he will supply the bait. 

• If the trap is lost or stolen then he will keep the deposit because the Animal Services will keep his deposit.

• It is recommended that household pets be kept away from the trap. Keith will reset the trap one time if a household pet gets trapped but will charge $25 for each time after that.

• For Humane reasons; traps will not be set on long weekends if animal control is  closed. We do not want any animal to die in the trap due to heat, lack of water or starvation.

• Sir Fixalot makes no guarantees that the animal will be caught but the Opossum below was caught in one night.

Here is an Opossum which was caught in the Garland Live Trap, the owner called animal control and they relocated him to a beautiful farm in Vermont.

This is a large trap recommended for the Opossum and requires a $50 deposit

The Opossum was content in this very humane cage along with the can of cat food.

He smiled big for the camera.

You can see he is not injured...just tired of me taking pictures.
