Animal Services

Fort Bend County Animal Services shelter intake is temporarily closed starting April 15, 2024, for a minimum of 6 weeks. For any inquiries or assistance, please contact us at 281-342-1512.

Beginning on Tuesday, May 5^th we will be resuming our normal animal control services in the field. For those wishing to turn in a stray pet, we will be accepting appointments for turn-in by phone only.

We appreciate everyone who has held on to pets during this crisis, but we are going to ask for your cooperation while we manage our intake of pets over these next weeks. We are anticipating a very high volume of intake and we are going to do our best to accommodate as many pets as we can.

We will be accepting a limited number of appointments between 11 am and 2 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We will not accept any pets on Saturday or Sunday and we are closed to the public on Monday. We will NOT be accepting walk-ins at this time.

To make an appointment for a turn-in, please call 281-342-1512.

If you have a stray that you would like to foster through our shelter, please contact us at animalservices_fostering@fortbendcountytx.gov and we can walk you through the process of fostering a stray for us.

Thank you.

Fort Bend County Animal Services consistently operates at or over capacity so we rely on our amazing community to help our pets by adopting, rescuing or fostering.

If you cannot bring a pet into your home at this time, you can always help by volunteering, donating and networking our pets - sharing our pets through social media - sharing saves lives!
