To many a pet lover, your cuddly friend is another member of the family. Help protect those furry loved ones by ensuring an ID tag is worn on their collar at all times. If your beloved pet happens to get loose or jump the fence, an ID tag can help us quickly identify Fido’s family and home. If you have lost a pet, please be sure to check the City of Tuttle Facebook page to see if your pet has found refuge at our animal shelter.
