City of Waco Receives Municipal Excellence Award for Lost Pets Waco
Created on November 04, 2025 at 08:00 PM
Accepting the award from TML: Michele Bean (Communications & Marketing), Tony Alexander (Information Technology), Jose Matos (Information Technology), and Cori Madewell (Communications & Marketing).
The City of Waco was selected for a 2025 Texas Municipal League Municipal Excellence Award for our Lost Pets Waco program. Lost Pets Waco is a free interactive online map that helps reunite lost pets with their owners by displaying photos and locations of strays found by Animal Control. The online map was a collaborative project with our Communications & Marketing, Information Technology, and Pet Circle Regional Animal Center teams.
We're very proud of our City of Waco staff and their collaborative work on this project that will continue to help keep the animal population lower at Pet Circle Regional Animal Center.

Communications & Marketing also developed a fun Men in Black-themed PSA to promote the online map. Thank you to all the staff and city council members that helped make the video possible.
