The North Texas Animal Control Authority is operated as a private sole-proprietorship company. We do this so decision making is done at the simplest level. We are an animal services contractor, providing small municipal entities up to large counties with full time animal control. Most animals in our shelter have been found as stray animals or surrendered by their prior owners for a variety of reasons.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

The North Texas Animal Control Authority is a privately owned and operated shelter serving the entire North Texas region. We can accept any pet from anywhere. However we do not accept stray or found animals unless we have a contract for the city or county where the animal was originally found. We are not a no-kill facility.
Additional adoption info
Adopters must sign an adoption contract requiring the spay or neuter of the animal being adopted, if not done so already. Our common adoption fee is only $40.00. We have no veterinary services available and cannot guarantee the health or temperament of an animal available for adoption. We do not have a pre-application or inspection requirement. The shelter is not open to the public and you must make an appointment to view pets available for adoption.
