Collin County Animal Services
Our Mission
Collin County Animal Services is dedicated to providing compassionate care for animals in our community and facilitating successful, long-term matches between pets and their new families.
Serving Our Community
Since the establishment of the Animal Services Department in 2006, we have been committed to meeting the needs of the growing population in Collin County. We serve as a vital resource for the community, providing essential sheltering and animal control services for all unincorporated areas, as well as many neighboring cities.
Our Commitment to Care
At our facility in McKinney, our team works diligently to provide a safe environment for every lost or stray pet that comes through our doors. We operate a professional shelter environment where each animal receives dedicated care, ensuring they are healthy and prepared to find their new home. Beyond daily care, we offer a range of educational resources to support pet owners and promote responsible animal guardianship.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
We believe that adoption is a joyful partnership that begins with thoughtful matching and mutual understanding. By providing guidance and resources—including partnerships for low-cost wellness clinics—we empower adopters to feel confident in their new journey. Whether you are looking for your first pet or a new addition to your family, we are here to help you make a connection that lasts a lifetime.
Join Us
We invite you to visit our shelter in McKinney or check our online resources to learn more about the animals currently waiting for their forever homes. Please feel free to reach out via our website, email, or by phone to see how you can help or to begin the adoption process. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend.
