About this shelter

City of Taylor, Texas Animal Shelter in Taylor, TX

The City of Taylor, Texas Animal Shelter is located in Taylor, Texas, about 30 miles southwest of Austin, and is open daily Monday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The shelter encourages adopters to find their next pet on-site or through the Taylor Animal Shelter Facebook page, with additional animals featured on Petfinder. Animals picked up by Animal Control are held for 72 hours to allow owners to reclaim them before becoming available for adoption, and the shelter partners with a variety of rescue groups, including breed-specific organizations, to help place animals in homes. The $80 adoption fee covers spay/neuter surgery, a nail trim, rabies vaccination, and city registration for animals that will live within city limits, while fostering is offered free of charge through an application and approval process.
