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.

About Waco Pets Alive!

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.

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