Who We Are

The City of Weatherford-Parker County Animal Shelter is a joint venture between the City of Weatherford and Parker County. Because we are a municipal shelter, our space fills up quickly. We take in an average of over 100 animals each week. We have 102 dog kennels, a cat room with several kitty condos, and a room for puppies and small breed dogs. We update Petfinder each week with pictures of all the available pets, but since they come in daily, there are usually more pets than what you will see here. You are welcome to call or visit us to see all of the adoptable animals.

Mobile Adoption Events

Parker Paws, a volunteer group for the shelter, was at the Weatherford Petsmart on November 14 and found homes for 7 pets, allowing our volunteers to take home more pets from the shelter until permanent homes can be found.

The adoption events are conducted by volunteers, their help is invaluable. Please see below at Volunteering and Donations if you would like to join us. Thank you!

Upcoming Mobile Adoption Events

Our next mobile adoption will be in White Settlement on Saturday, November 21, from 9am until 2pm. Please visit our events page for complete information.

Adopting a friend

You must be 18 years of age or older to adopt an animal. Adoption fees are only $85.00 for a female dog, $75.00 for a male dog, and $55.00 for each cat. The fee includes spay or neuter of the animal; plus rabies, parvo, and distemper vaccinations, as well as some additional feline vaccinations. It also includes micro-chipping. What a GREAT deal for a new best friend!!
