DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN REGISTER YOUR PET WITH THE CITY OF GRAND SALINE? If your dog or cat is ever lost, registration makes it easy to identify the owner and helps prevent your pet from being sent to the Mineola Animal Shelter. Pet registration can save you from costly shelter fees and, most importantly, helps reunite you with your furry friend faster. Registration is available through the Grand Saline Police Department at the low cost of $10.
