Shelter FAQs

Howdy, Partner! The mission of the Alvarado Department of Animal Control is to balance the health, safety and welfare needs of the people and animals in our City. Our mission is accomplished by working with our citizens and other animal welfare organizations; by enforcing the animal laws of Texas as well as the City of Avarado, providing educational programs and humanely providing care, nourishment and a safe environment for the unwanted, stray, abused and abandoned animals in our City. We will educate the public about responsible companion animals ownership, aggressively investigate animal cruelty cases, find homes for as many homeless animals as possible and humanely euthanize the unwanted, injured or dangerous animals in our community.
Alvarado Department of Animal Control Services provides services to the City of Alvarado, Texas only. We do however adopt any available animal to any person who meets our adoption criteria.
