My name is Shegal!

Our adoption fees for adult dogs start at $300, though could be higher based on adoption demand and medical costs. Our adoption fees for puppies start at $400, though could be higher based on adoption demand, and includes 4 veterinary visits to update vaccines and perform spay/neuter. Some dogs have higher adoption fees because of adoption interest Our shelter mission focuses on medical and behavioral rehab cases, so our adoption fees never cover our costs. We have an adoption application for dogs and cats and will check a vet reference as well as information regarding your home situation and pet compatibility. Some adoptions will require a home visit.

Animal Hope opened its doors as a standalone shelter on February 1, 2015. Prior to that, Animal Hope operated as a small rescue at Animal Hospital Southwest. As the municipal veterinarian for the city of Fort Worth, Animal Hospital Southwest frequently pulled difficult cases that the city was not equipped to treat and rehabilitate due to budgetary and time constraints. From this organization was born the Animal Hope shelter, a rescue focusing on rehabilitation and “second chance” adoptions.
