Pet Owners: Please Observe District and County Rules

Important Information about Williamson County Animal Policies
Clean Up with Mutt Mitts
The Springwoods MUD welcomes residents and their dogs to enjoy bringing their pets to our community Springwoods Park.  We’ve recently extended the jogging trails for leisurely strolls or quick jogs with your dog.  You may also notice that the District furnishes two Mutt Mitt stations with handy plastic bags so you can clean up after your dog. The majority of our visitors take advantage of this service. One of the park rules states that dog owners are required to clean up after their animals. The MUD board and everyone who uses the park appreciates the effort owners make in keeping our park free of animal waste. 

Unfortunately, there are always a few people who ignore their responsibility to clean up after their pets.  This presents a nuisance and health hazard for all park visitors.  Emerald Security Patrol officers monitor your park; violations will be addressed with anyone who is observed breaking the Park rules.  Please leave your Springwoods Park sanitary for everyone to enjoy.

Leashes, Vaccinations and Registration Required
Both Springwoods Park rules and Williamson County ordinance require that dogs be under their owner’s control at all times.  Dogs are not allowed off leash in the Springwoods Park. In addition, Williamson County ordinance also requires your pet to be vaccinated for rabies.  Pet owners are also required to register their animal with the county you reside in.

ID, Please
For the safety of others, please attach rabies vaccination tags to your animal’s collar and have your veterinarian chip your animal (or use some other form of identification) in case your pet gets lost.  This provides a means to locate the owner of lost animals.  If your pet becomes lost, one of the best ways to locate them quickly is to alert your regular Postal Letter Carrier.  Your regular mailman is usually very familiar with every dog on his route and if he/she is notified in a timely manner, they can often help with the search.  Leave a note, a description, and photo of your pet with your carrier to alert him/her.

Recently a small brindle colored pit bull mix was found wandering around the Treeline and Bubbling Springs neighborhood.  This dog was very friendly and appeared to be well cared for.  Since it was going to be cold that night, a good Samaritan neighbor kept the dog in a warm place overnight.  The next day the dog was taken to a vet’s office to see if he was chipped.  The neighbor found out that the animal had been adopted from Town Lake Animal Shelter and did have a chip implanted.  However, the owners failed to register this animal with the chip company!  That leaves very few options to find the dog’s owner.  Moral of the story:  If you really love your pets and don’t want to lose them, register them. If this dog had been registered his owner could have had him back in 24 hours.

Stray Cats and Dogs
There are many pet lovers in our area who go that extra mile to feed stray dogs and cats and we appreciate their love of animals.  However if cats and dogs are not spayed or neutered, they will overpopulate the neighborhood.  Stray or feral cats can also be a health hazard if they do not receive the required vaccinations and rabies shots.  Please contact Williamson County Animal Control at 943-1300 if feral cats pose a problem in your area.  You can also report animal abuse or register a complaint at this number. 

Adopt from a Shelter
We urge our residents to adopt from local animal shelters and avoid buying pets from private breeders/pet stores.  There are many friendly and loving dogs and cats waiting for a good home and far too many are euthanized.

Your cooperation in following the Williamson County Animal Control Laws and our Springwoods Park rules are greatly appreciated by all of our residents within our MUD District.  We strive to protect all pet owners rights and only ask that you be a responsible guardian of your animal.
