City of Denton
Our Mission
At Denton Animal Services, our mission is to promote the health, safety, and welfare of animals and people in our community through responsive service, education, and enforcement. We strive to be the most trusted leader in proactive and innovative animal and community welfare.
Who We Are
As a municipal shelter located at the Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center, we serve the City of Denton by providing essential animal care and control. We are committed to transparency and continuous improvement, actively working to align our operations with the best practices in animal welfare to ensure our community pets receive the highest standard of care.
How We Help
Our work is powered by a dedicated team that manages pet intakes, lost pet reunions, and adoption services. Beyond the shelter walls, we rely on our compassionate network of foster heroes to provide extra love and a quiet space for pets who are recovering from medical procedures or struggling with shelter stress, helping them thrive until they find their forever homes.
Your Adoption Journey
Adopting a pet is a life-changing decision, and we are here to support you in finding the perfect companion that fits your lifestyle. Our simple adoption process includes a meet-and-greet to ensure a successful bond, and our commitment to you doesn’t end when you leave the building; we remain a resource for training, behavior, and healthcare questions as you and your new family member settle in.
Join Our Community
Are you ready to find your next best friend? We invite you to visit the Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center to meet the animals in our care or browse our available pets online.
