Maybe, and maybe not. Once the animal's available date arrives, the animal may be adopted to the first person who arrives wanting the animal, or the animal may be euthanized. This is why it is so important to get to the shelter as soon as possible when the available date arrives.

Many wonderful pets can be found at the animal shelter. Colleen, being the founder of National Dog Day and National Cat Day (among others), a holiday that has saved thousands of pets from certain death, believes in adopting from the shelter and rescue groups, as there are so many wonderful dogs, cats, horses, birds and other pets looking for forever homes.

NO, a shelter will NOT "hold" an animal for you. If the animal's available date has arrived, the animal will be adopted out to the first person who arrives to adopt the animal. Also, if the animal's available date has arrived, and the animal is sick, is not getting along well with shelter workers or with other shelter animals, or if the shelter is crowded, the animal may be euthanized.

Unfortunately, the answer is usually NO. We would love to be able to do this, but, in general, we do not have enough volunteers to help in this way. We are all volunteers and spend our time photographing and listing the animals for www.amrt.net (and in our other rescue activities). Many of us do not even live near the shelters we cover, and only go once a week to compile lists and photos for www.amrt.net .

Payment (most shelters do NOT accept credit cards), and often a photo identification (driver's license, etc.). Also, make sure you bring something to keep the animal secure -- a collar and leash for a dog, or a carrier for a cat. And don't forget to get an identification tag with your phone numbers onto your new family member's collar right away!

Sort of. Until recently, Nancy Phelan ran a very productive animal shelter. They city, for whatever reason, has closed her down and will not let her take in animals and care for them. She is still collecting and distributing pet food, pet toys and medicine and trying to continue her spay and neuter program. Help is needed to make sure these poor animals roaming the streets get proper care, food and they need to be spayed and neutered.

No, we are not the shelter, and the animals are not ours. We can only provide you with information about what animals are at the shelter. It is up to you to adopt the animal.

The shelter will take a lost report of your animal by phone, but we suggest that you come by and check the kennels in person as only you know your dog or cat. You may also try running an ad in the local newspaper, check with other area city shelters and post flyers in the neighborhood. Lost reports are kept on file for three months but we recommend you visit the shelter every few days.

No. In order to be considered "no-kill" we would have to limit the types and numbers of animals we accept. The OHS is an "open door" animal shelter that offers shelter and care to animals regardless of age, health, temperament, or space available. No healthy, adoptable animal is ever euthanised.

Good idea. Tell the shelter the animal's impound number (which you can usually get from our listings). Verify that the animal is still at the shelter, and verify the available date.

State code (Texas Health and Safety code, Animal Sterilization Act, Section 828) requires that all animals be sterilized, if adopting from a shelter.

Sometimes poultry is, but generally livestock is taken to a livestock holding facility run by a Sheriff's Department employee. The facility is a farm with an environment suitable for the care and housing of livestock. Potbellied pigs are considered domestic animals and are usually taken to the Animal Shelter, where they are adopted to new homes after the usual holding period. Back to the top
