An extremely important and effective way you can help the animals in Nacogdoches County is to spay and neuter your pets. There is an explosion of unwanted dogs and cats in Nacogdoches right now and YOU can help reduce those numbers.
Need assistance? We now have a low cost spay/neuter clinic. Read about the costs, benefits, and discounts available at
NacCARES is a coalition of animal rescue groups working together with the shelter for the good of the Nacogdoches County Animals.

All foster animals receive their vaccinations, are spayed/neutered, and checked for heartworms prior to being placed in a foster home.

Donations to the clinic are appreciated. Needs are disposable pads for post surgery, surgical supplies such as gauze, cotton balls, etc. A gurney to help get sleeping big dogs from surgery table to cages. Crates, cages, to hold animals of all sizes. Your time volunteering, doing laundry in the clinic washer/dryer or wrap surgical packs. And of course financial donations are always gladly accepted.

If you have lost a pet, first check our Petfinder site to see if your dog or cat is on our Lost and Found or adoptable list. If he is not, come by the shelter and look for your pet. Your visit is the best chance your companion will have of getting back home to you. If you still have not found him, give us your contact information in case he/she is brought in to the shelter.
New animals come to the shelter daily, so keep checking back.
If are looking for a specific breed, size or temperament of an animal to adopt, please give us your contact information so we can alert you if someone matching your description comes in.
Our goal is to reunite or rehome each and every animal who comes into our care. EVERY dog and EVERY cat deserves a loving home.
