About Our Shelter:

The Grayson County Humane Society is a small group of volunteers who are working to change our local animal shelter from a high-kill, low adoption facility to a Low- or no-kill facility with a high rescue/adoption/reclaimation rate. We have been fairly successful in our mission of rescue but need to increase adoption to end euthanasia due to shelter over crowding. We also transport owned pets to the lowest cost spay/neuter we can find and offer pet care and spay neuter information to our area residents.

Come Meet our Pets:

The shelter is open on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 7:30AM to 1:30PM (Central Time Zone). Please contact us for an appointment if these times aren't suited to your schedule.

If you need directions to the shelter, please call us at 270-230-8839.

Our Adoption Process:

If you see a pet that you're interested in adopting, you can apply on our website or you can email the shelter volunteers at dwhite@aggressiveonline.net or call 270-230-8839 to request that an adoption application be emailed or sent via regular mail to you. We do allow out-of-state adoptions, but a home visit and references are required. You can bring your completed application with you when you visit the shelter or you can submit it via email or regular mail.

All animals adopted from us will be altered before placement and will receive their vaccinations and worming. Our adoption fees are:
** Cats and Kittens $55
** Adult Dogs $85
** Puppies $100

We welcome rescues to look at our residents and will convey to no-kill organizations. You must sign an agreement to return the animal to us if there is any reason you will not be keeping the pet.

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
