The intent of Waco Pets Alive is to provide the resources, education and programs needed to eliminate the killing of at-risk animals at the Waco Animal Shelter.
Waco Pets Alive is a high-volume pet adoption foster-based rescue program that exclusively rescues animals at the highest risk of being killed at the Waco Animal Shelter, in accordance with its Rescue Criteria Guidelines.
Waco Pets Alive provides a variety of support and events to the Greater Waco community, local animal control officers, and animal welfare partners, which will contribute to a decline of shelter intake, increase shelter pet adoptions, improve quality of life for pets and the people who care for them.

Additional adoption info
All of our pets are in foster homes. A meet and greet can be scheduled at a convenient location.
*Out-of-state adoptions: WPA! usually has a lot of Texas adopters for our pets due to our low adoption fee and friendly process. We can consider out-of-state applications on a case-by-case basis, however, we never ship pets. Out-of-state adopters would have to visit Waco, TX in person to meet a pet they were interested in. If you are applying from out-of-state, please include in the application your travel dates to our area. Our adoptable puppies typically get adopted out in our immediate area very quickly.
