The Galveston County Animal Shelter serves the entire Galveston County area and our shelter fills up quickly. Animals that are not reclaimed by their owners will become available for adoption after the required hold time. We have many wonderful pets in need of new homes. Whether you're looking for that cuddly kitt, perfect lap-dog, or a gentle giant, come see all of our outstanding animals today. When you adopt from us, you TRULY save a life!
Adopting a friend
Effective July 1, 2006, the new adoption fee is $85; which includes the spay or neuter, rabies vaccine, and micro-chipping.
How you can Help...
The shelter animals, as well as the staff here, really appreciate any donations or contributions from the public. This is a small facility with limited funding. Some basic needs are towels, blankets, cat and dog food, cat litter, and doggie treats. All these things can help make the animals stay a little more comfortable.
Another way you can help is by joining our foster program. Foster homes are needed to help adoptable animals who just need a little extra time away from the shelter. This includes mothers with young babies, orphaned babies who may need bottle-feeding, and animals with minor injuries who need time to heal. Fostering can be very rewarding and requires only a few days, a week, or a few weeks of your time. Without your help, these animals don't have a chance to survive!
