About City of Commerce Animal Shelter
The Commerce Animal Shelter is a small rural shelter that cares for and makes every effort to find the perfect homes for orphaned dogs and cats. We strive to educate the public regarding animal care and will assist our community in any way we can.
We accept abandoned, stray and owner surrendered dogs and cats from Hunt County Texas and after a health screening and behavioral screening pets are placed for adoption. All adoptions include the pet's spay/neuter and Rabies vaccine. Other medical treatment is available for low cost fees, such as Distemper/Parvovirus vaccines, Bordetella vaccine, Microchip, Heart worm test, Heart worm preventative, Intestinal parasite testing and deworming.
Through the assistance of donations from loving people we can begin necessary medical treatment for some of our shelter orphans. We can begin vaccinating puppies against Distemper and Parvovirus, begin treatment for intestinal parasites, heart worm testing for adult dogs and we have even been able to assist pets with mange treatment. We would be happy to accept donations to medical treatment for any one of our orphans while they wait for forever homes.
We also welcome rescue organizations with current 501 c3. Just email your paperwork and let me know who is an authorized transporter, and the pet's name and ID# that you would like to tag for rescue.

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.
