Animal Shelters in Texas
Texas has 953 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 108 counties. The mix is fairly even between animal shelters and rescue organizations. Houston has more than any other Texas city, followed by Dallas and San Antonio. Somewhere on this list is a Texas dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.
Texas has 953 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
Houston has more than anywhere else in Texas, followed by Dallas, San Antonio and Austin. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.
Dallas, Harris and Tarrant counties have the most, though listings reach 108 of Texas's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
