About this shelter

Gardenia E. Janssen Animal Shelter in La Grange, TX

The Gardenia E. Janssen Animal Shelter is located at 240 Svoboda Lane in La Grange, Texas, roughly 60 miles northwest of Austin, and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, not taxpayer-funded, that has served Fayette County since 1994 under the motto "The Mission Doesn't Stop & Neither Will We." Beyond dog and cat adoptions, the shelter runs a low-cost spay and neuter program, a barn cat placement program, Freedom Ride transports to partner rescues, and community initiatives like Tales for Tails. Every adoptable animal is healthy and microchipped, and the shelter also offers fostering and volunteering opportunities for those looking to get involved.
