Georgetown Animal Shelter's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption application for dogs and cats. You may complete the application ahead of time and email it to animalsvc@georgetown.org, fax it to 512-930-3672, or bringing it with you. Applications will be reviewed but not finalized until the applicant has met the animal to make sure it is a good match. The process takes 2-3 business days and the applicant will be notified whether or not they are approved for the adoption. If the applicant lives within the city limits of Georgetown, the fee is $75, $70 if outside the city limits. It includes city license (if applicable), spay/neuter, rabies and basic shots, microchip, dog heartworm test , wellness check with a contracted Georgetown vet, bag of food and lots of information on pet care. We also have a senior to senior adoption process, call for information on it.
The city license is required for all dogs and cats within the city limits and a current rabies vaccine is required to purchase the license.

About Georgetown Animal Shelter

We have a lot of success stories because of the great staff and wonderful volunteers. We have foster families that take in young or injured pets. The staff and volunteers work hard to maintain a safe and healthy place for our pets, and we have several offsite adoption events each month. We offer microchip services. Every animal deserves a great home and we work hard to see that they get one. We always need more volunteers, foster families and donations.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

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.
