How do I adopt a dog or cat from the City’s Animal Shelter?

  • You must be at least 18 years of age. You will need to present a valid ID such as a drivers license, Texas ID card, or military ID card at the time of the adoption.
  • You must pay all applicable adoption fees at the time of the adoption. The adoption fee is $100 for dogs and $75 for cats.
