Surrendering Your Pet

Bringing your pet to the Brazos Animal Shelter can be a difficult decision to make. We would like you to know that we understand how hard it can be to relinquish a beloved pet and appreciate your choice to surrender your animal responsibly so that he or she will be safe and humanely cared for.

If you have found a pet in Brazos County, please see our "Found Pet" page.

As a private, nonprofit organization dependent on community contributions, we request a donation when an animal is admitted to us.

Reservation Required for Owner Surrender and Out of (Brazos) County Pets

Animals will be taken in by reservation only, based on available space, which will be made on a first come, first served basis. Calls to make reservations for the surrender of an animal will be answered from 9 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. Monday through Friday.

If an animal is deemed not adoptable at the time of their reservation, the person who brought the animal in is given the following options: to keep the pet and/or to take the animal to a veterinarian for treatment, to seek placement at a local animal shelter or rescue group or owner requested euthanasia.
