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. We strive to create a world where every animal finds their forever home through a commitment to animal welfare and community support.
Why We Are Here
As an open-intake facility, we serve nearly 8,000 animals annually, providing a vital safety net for pets in need throughout our community. We are passionate about improving animal welfare and are constantly expanding our rescue efforts and partnerships to give each animal a brighter, happier future.
How We Care
We believe in a holistic approach to animal well-being, utilizing both our physical shelter facility and a robust network of foster families. Our team, along with dedicated volunteers and community partners, provides essential services including daily enrichment, medical care, and specialized programs like our Snip-N-Tip TNR initiative. Whether through our in-shelter care or our successful out-of-state transport partnerships, we work tirelessly to ensure every pet receives the support they deserve.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adoption is a joyful journey, and we are here to help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle. By focusing on each animal's unique personality—often learned through our volunteer-led Borrow A Buddy program—we ensure that every placement is set up for long-term success. We view our adopters as partners in our mission, working together to keep pets healthy, protected, and thriving in the homes they love.
