My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Chato, a resilient 7-year-old pup whose life has been a rollercoaster of challenges and triumphs. When he first crossed paths with us four years ago, he tipped the scales at 67 pounds, but this year he was a mere 43 pounds, battling chronic emaciation. Despite his hardships, Chato’s spirit shines through as he rebounds back to his friendly, playful self, relishing toys and treats like they’re his greatest treasures. He is a social butterfly, happily mingling with other dogs and older children who understand his need for toys and treat boundaries. His journey hasn’t been easy; he has heartworms, so if you want to take him home, you would foster him through treatment and have the opportunity to adopt him afterward. This resilient boy has so much love and joy to offer, and we can’t wait for him to find a loving family that will cherish him. Are you ready to open your heart and home to Chato’s second chance at a happy, healthy life? Contact the shelter or stop by to meet him!

If you are interested in adopting from the City of Georgetown Animal Shelter, please fill out an application at https://records.georgetown.org/Forms/AdoptApp . Approved applicants will be contacted to schedule an appointment to meet available dogs and cats. Please contact the shelter with any additional questions

The application/screening process for potential adopters usually takes about 24 hours except when it falls over a weekend or holiday, and then it may take two or three days. We ask that potential adopters please be patient with us; we are only trying our best to ensure that the homeless pets in our care get the best possible home. All cats and dogs adopted from our shelter are spayed or neutered (as Texas law mandates).

Our adoption fee is currently $70 for non-residents and $75 for residents*.

The adoption fee includes:

spaying/neutering
vaccinations (appropriate to species and age)
heartworm or feline leukemia test (appropriate to species and age)
de-worming medication
microchip (a tiny ID tag inserted under the skin, which allows your pet to be returned to you quickly)

There is a $5 Pet License fee added to the adoption fee if the adopter lives inside the City Limits of Georgetown.

Please visit our website for more information on how to adopt, special events, adoption application, educational and volunteer information.
