Coyote Sightings Around Addison

The Town of Addison Animal Control Department has received several calls about coyotes near our Parks, especially Vitruvian Park and the green space at the corner of Bella Lane and Vitruvian Way. Coyotes and other urban wildlife are not new or unique to Addison. Here are a few ways to keep you and your family pets safe!

• Do not feed wildlife.
• All pets should remain on a leash when being walked. This is for the safety of your pets and is an Addison ordinance. Many of the encounters reported to Animal Control involve off-leash pets.
• Supervise small pets and children and keep cats indoors when unsupervised.
• Secure garbage, compost, and pet foods.
• Be BIG and LOUD when you see coyotes near homes and community spaces.
• Talk to your neighbors if you see a possible attractant and ask them to remove it.

If you have any questions, please contact Addison's Animal Control Department at addisonanimalcontrol@addisontx.gov or 972-450-2845. They can be reached on nights and weekends by calling 972-450-7156.
