Best shelter, I have visited. I got my dog from here! I highly recommend. There was a minor complication but not big enough to stop anyone from going to this shelter. Dogs are typically $49. I highly highly highly recommend, buying your pet from here.

Just spoke with an officer tonight and she was absolutely rude. I was wanting an update on the animal abuse case and she unhung up on me. I guess she was annoyed. She probably shouldn't be working there. She had the night shift 10pm on 10/10/22. I believe her last night was Parka. Doesn't sound like she gave me the correct info. She wouldn't give me her badge # either.

They do the best they can considering the vast amount of pet owners who feel like their animals are disposable and can be dumped off at a shelter when they are done with them. My only complaint is I've been looking for to adopt a shelter dog and I clicked their website button that says click if interested in this pet and basically its meaningless, ive gotten no response. Ive also visited the shelter twice and the staff are not hugely interested in visitors looking for certain animals from the website... or really helping at all. I'd have loved to take a dog in a room to sort of get to know it, but finding anyone to help you is rough.

Questions & Answers

How does it work to adopt a dog? Do you just go pick one out, pay $50 and get the dog right then?

Deborah Mattox | Oct 12, 2018
Mahalia V | Oct 12, 2018

Yes. There's usually only a wait if the hasn't been spayed/neutered yet. But if you go there in person, meet a dog you like, fill out paper work and pay the adoption fee you get to home with them the same day.

I've been to visit a certain dog a few times and I've decided to adopt her. My apartments want a $400 fee, can pledge money be used for this?

muriel roberts | Oct 12, 2017
Mahalia V | Oct 12, 2018

Honestly, in my experience, adopters do not get the pledge money. Most pledges only go towards rescues, when the animals are "pulled" to safety. I've adopted dogs with pledges (not for the money, that'd be messed up) and never got anything. Also, most the time, people will "pledge" in comments, but when the dog is out the shelter they never stay true to those pledges. You'd honestly be better off just earning the $400 fee yourself, or even starting a "fund me" type campaign.

Would be nice if the dog's available for adoption were categorized? At least maybe by size & age. Plus an option to locate a dog by ID# if a person would like to re-visit a certain dog's profile. Thanks for all you do for the animals.

Dwayne Gilley | Oct 12, 2019
Audrie King | Oct 11, 2020

I'm guessing you mean a having a filter on the search engine, right? That's a good idea! It would also be nice if they allowed people to filter by gender as well.

is the Fort Worth Animal Control Center a no kill facility?

Stanley LaRue, Sr | Oct 12, 2018
Cheryl Ehrhart Hodges | Oct 12, 2018

The Fort Worth animal shelter on Martin Street is working hard to become "no kill". This time lastt year they would euthanize daily. Now it is rarely. It's not totally there yet, but with the communities help it won't be much longer that we can proudly call ourselves a no kill shelter. Fyi, there is no time limit to be adopted. As long as there is room and no serious illness or injury, they will keep until adopted. As for fees all dogs are $49 to adopt the urgent dogs are $25.

I have a beautiful 9 month pit I would like to surrender tomorrow what do I need in order to put him up for adoption?

Ta'Laci Cook | Aug 12, 2022
Amy Spivey | Sep 11, 2022

But beware they are pretty full and an owner surrender can be put down immediately. If you want to ensure that he's not put down schedule a drop off appointment with the humane society of North Texas instead. It may be a month or two before they can get you in but your dog has a much better shot.

How can i tell if my kittens have been adopted

Charlene Espinoza | Oct 12, 2019
Jessica Weyman | Oct 12, 2019

Normally the kittens once they are adoptable are sent to PetsMart over off of Hulen I beleive. Hopefully someone can help clarify if I am correct or not.

I understand we are allowed 3 per household. We are two separate households under one roof... we want to keep all 8 of our dogs. Is this possible? They are all rescues.

Shasha Spell | Oct 12, 2019
John Williams | Oct 12, 2019

Shasha, You can ask FWACC about how "fosters" are counted with respect to the city ordinances. I'd also encourage you to reach out to some Fort Worth based rescue groups for advice on how they're keeping more than 3. My city allows 4 and then you need a breeder's permit - strange as rescue dogs and cats are always spayed or neutered, so how could they breed? LOL The biggest problem once you clarify how to keep all 8 will be noise control, keeping the barking to a minimum amount and also keeping the poop picked up for showing the dogs are in a sanitary environment. Little things make a difference. I commend you and your family for keeping the dogs while combining households, far too many owner surrendered dogs and we know how full the shelter is. Reply back if you want help finding anything else out, glad to help. I love all dogs!

As to what their protocols are, I would ask the hardworking people who are employed in that code enforcement facility. Ft. Worth's shelter is very pro life and is considered to be a progressive facility. There are facilities in other cities that have very grim policy. Ft. Worth is fortunate in many ways, our animal shelter facility is one of them. Excellent question.

Is this a no kill shelter? I found 2 pits today and I’m so worried about them. They were as sweet as could be and I wish I could’ve taken them home.

Logan Dillon | Oct 11, 2021
J.Scott Moose | Nov 15, 2021

This shelter is definitely a no kill shelter. The animals there are treated kindly, fed properly, recieve plenty of exercise, moreover individual attention. I am in no way affiliated with the city, however I'm proud to be a resident of Ft. Worth. The professional attitudes from the good people running this shelter can serve as a good example as to why. I hope this helps. Please be advised that :There is no official body that hands out 'no kill' certifications, so the term is self-appointed to animal shelters and rescue groups. ... It means healing the animals who can be healed, treating behaviours that can be treated, and prioritising safety and high quality of life for both pets and all animals. Another variable to factor in is one of the main reasons our city has this Dept. is to primarily protect the citizens of our fair city.

You're probably better taking it to a vet to check for a chip. Might save you some time if all of its shots are registered, plus you will know if there is a family somewhere tripping. I am not certain, but if you take him/her to the shelter they might could check for a chip, but you also may be looking at surrendering for a mandated period of time and paying to walk away the same you came in, but I may be wrong.

Julia Dawnyel (hey jude) | Oct 11, 2020
Ellen Ingalls | Oct 11, 2020

What city are you in? And do you have other pets? Because there is a limit to how many pets you are allowed per city regulations. They have to be registered up to date on shots etc. And the city asks for proof of registration and of vaccinations as well. Also you can't have pets without having them spayed or neutered. You have to be approved per the city and you have to have permits to have any animal that isn't spayed or neutered etc. Also why are you wanting so many pets for? Pets aren't a gift they're a lifelong commitment. Lifelong as the pets life. And pets are expensive for vetting medical check ups etc. Pets arent cheap to have. My other question is. It appears your in corpus Christi texas. So why are you searching hrs away from your city to adopt? Are you not allowed to adopt or have animals or adopt from local shelters? Is there a reason why you're searching so far out of your area for multiple pets?

Yep, I got a older .one. Found out after paid she had heart worms, and then after she dug under fence she got out attacked 5 dogs total. Lost my money, cost of fence issues, near sued....I wanted a small to medium good dog to love and walk.

And they have 2 off-site locations One at PetSmart near alliance airport in fort Worth and one at PetSmart off Hulen road Online And it will tell you online which location each animal is located at http://fortworthtexas.gov/animals/dogs/

Contact the people in charge of your community first. Make them aware of the issue; since you lease the common areas( anything outside of your apartment ) is the responsibility of the community. If you see no resolution, then contact animal control. Take pictures and videos as evidence of animal activity.

The rabies shot is $5.00 on Tuesday afternoons about 5pm. If you live in Fort Worth they will want you to register your dog. Its free if they are spayed or neutered and microchipped. Oh and have been seen by a vet. 12+ if a vet hasn't seen it. Or the humane society on East Lancaster has cheap shots i think its the first saturday of every month.

No, if the puppy leaves without being spayed or neutered, you have to sign a paper stating you will get it done within 30 days. If you don't, they will take you to court. Puppies very rarely leave there without the surgery. They do it usually before a puppy goes into adoptions

They should now be deemed dangerous animals and owners are responsible for all your medical bills and pain and suffering. If they own a home file a complaint with homeowners or get a lawyer. The city should have them deemed dangerous and they are required to carry a huge insurance policy. If sent to pound usually animals deemed dangerous are euthanized. Being attacked like that is horrible. You need to sue them. It has cost you financially and mentally. I’m not litigious but this is not ok.

The humane society accepts pets whose owners surrender them.

Also don't go in saying it's an aggressive dog if the kids caused the poor animal to protect itself or reacted in pain.
