Shelter Operations 
Due to current staffing levels and continued COVID-19 precautions, limited access to the shelter has become necessary. Currently, we are limiting shelter access to redemptions and adoptions by appointment only. Please call 972-775-7628 or 972-775-7614 to schedule an appointment to adopt or redeem an animal.
At this time, we are not accepting surrenders, general walk-ins or issuing traps.
If you have lost an animal or found an animal, we encourage you to utilize our Lost or Found pet form.
Thank you for understanding and your continued support.
