Garland Animal Services
Our Mission
At the Garland Animal Shelter & Adoption Center, we are dedicated to ensuring compassionate, life-affirming outcomes for every animal in our care. Our mission is to create a community where every animal finds their forever home through professional, transparent, and heartfelt support.
Why We Are Here
As an open-intake facility serving nearly 8,000 animals annually, we provide a vital safety net for pets throughout our community. We believe every animal deserves a second chance, and we work tirelessly to ensure those in our care receive the medical attention, affection, and patience they need to thrive.
How We Care
Our shelter operates through a robust network of support, including dedicated staff, volunteers, and rescue partners who share our commitment to animal welfare. We utilize a combination of shelter-based care and proactive initiatives, such as our foster program and extensive out-of-state transport partnerships, to increase the likelihood of success for every pet. By managing resources effectively and building a network of trust, we provide a stable environment for animals while they wait for their new families.
Connecting You with Your New Best Friend
Adoption is a life-changing partnership that enriches the lives of both the pet and their new owner. We encourage potential adopters to get involved, whether through adopting, volunteering, or participating in programs like our Borrow A Buddy initiative, which helps us learn more about our dogs' personalities to ensure the perfect match. Finding the right fit for your lifestyle is our priority, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
Join Us
Are you ready to meet your new companion? We invite you to view our currently available animals online or visit our facility at 1902 State Highway 66 to connect with the many wonderful pets waiting for a home. Together, we can make a positive impact and provide a brighter future for the animals in our community.
