Bonham Animal Shelter's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoptions are currently $30 per animal, and fostering is $10. Microchipping is available at the Shelter for $15 per animal, and offered at a discount rate of $10 per animal if microchipped at time of adoption. The Bonham Animal Shelter accepts cash, check, and credit/debit cards.

A photo copy of the adopter's state issued ID will be made to attach to the adoption paperwork.

If you are interested in adopting or fostering an animal, please call COME IN PERSON as things change quickly. Emails are checked at the Shelter as time allows and therefore are not always read or responded to in a timely manner. Phone calls are answered and responded to as quickly as Animal Control Officers are able. Saturday-Tuesday only one ACO is on duty and may be away from the phone responding to calls for service or cleaning the Shelter.

About Bonham Animal Shelter

Our dedicated Animal Control Officers, Jimmy Gilbert and Freddie Wright, are supported by a small, but active group, the Bonham Animal Shelter Volunteer Program who are always looking for more members. The Volunteer Program assists the Shelter in many ways, including vaccinating healthy adoptable animals at intake (NOT rabies), providing medication and limited medical care to sick and/or injured animals, and networking animals to the public as well as rescue organizations.

Bonham Animal Shelter's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Bonham, TX.

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.
