La Porte, TX Adoption Center & Animal Shelter
Our Mission
The La Porte Animal Shelter is dedicated to enhancing animal welfare and serving our community by providing a safe, compassionate environment for animals in need. We work tirelessly to ensure every animal under our care receives the attention, medical support, and love they deserve while awaiting their forever homes.
Who We Are
As a division of the La Porte Police Department, our shelter serves the residents of La Porte by managing animal control and facilitating successful adoptions. To further our mission, our passionate volunteers established the Friends of La Porte Animal Shelter, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides vital support to our staff, animals, and local outreach programs.
How We Care
Our facility offers a blend of care options, including shelter-based services and a robust foster program that helps animals thrive in a home environment. Whether through long-term fostering, our Foster-to-Adopt program, or fun Doggie Day Out excursions, we prioritize the well-being and happiness of our animals while they wait for you.
Connecting You with a New Friend
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to help you find your perfect match among the many wonderful animals in our care. Our $85 adoption fee ensures that each pet is set up for a healthy transition, as it includes a thorough vet check, initial vaccinations, a microchip, and vouchers for sterilization and rabies vaccination.
Join Our Community
We invite you to visit our shelter to meet our adoptable pets or check out our online gallery to see who is waiting for a family.
