The Community Investment Program Task Force Wants YOUR Input!

Did you know that operations for the City of Rowlett are spread across 18 different facilities around town? Our city has experienced rapid growth over the years, and some of our buildings have reached their maximum capacity. Specifically our Public Safety, Animal Shelter, City Hall and Parks Department Maintenance buildings. To better serve you, our citizens, we are looking to make our facilities more efficient and easier to access. We need your help and input in building the future of Rowlett! 

To meet the demands of our growing community, the need for new facilities is real. That's where YOU come in. We would like to know how you would prioritize the building of those facilities. Click on this link to take our quick survey: https://bit.ly/3NP3uSq  

We are excited for this growth and the future of our City. You can learn more about building the future of the City of Rowlett and the Community Investment Program Task Force here: https://bit.ly/3x8ikOb

National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month

Happy National Adopt a Shelter Cat month! With kitten season in full swing, June is the perfect time to welcome a new cat or kitten into your family.

This week, we want to highlight shelter guest Bambi! She's a female kitten and has been in the City of Rowlett Animal Services care since early June. If you would like to meet her or any of our other furry friends, please call 972-412-6219 to make an appointment.

Animal Services Receives a $500 Donation  

This week, the Rowlett Animal Services team received a $500 donation from a happy fur mom who drove all the way from Laredo Texas to adopt Swede ( who is now named Prince Parker). After making the 7-hour trip, she was greeted by our staff who went above and beyond to help her. In her donation letter, she noted how kind and devoted the Animal Services team and volunteers were. Huge shout to this wonderful team!
