Nacogdoches Animal Services and Adoption Center

Community members can come to the shelter with an ID, take a dog out on the town, and bring the dog back by 5 p.m. The shelter provides everything needed for the outing. Afterward, participants can fill out a report card about the dog so its “person” can learn more about it.

A national effort to Clear the Shelters has made its way to East Texas. The Clear the Shelters movement is a cross-country initiative to relieve shelters of the intense spring and summer influx of animals, providing them with much needed homes and opening space to rescue more.
