State Regulations

The State of Texas requires all people adopting from shelters to prepay for a spay or neutering and a rabies vaccination for the animal.

Schedule of Fees

Adoption is free with a prepaid rabies vaccination and sterilization. Other fees include:

  • Surrender - $30.00 per animal
  • Impound Fee - $20 per day
  • Quarantine - $25 per day
  • Rabies Testing - $50.00
  • Euthanasia - $40.00
  • Disposal - $10.00
  • Adoption Fee/Unaltered Animal - $85.00
  • Adoption Fee/Altered Animal - $25.00

Nuisance Animals

We will provide free removal of nuisance animals from privately owned traps during normal business hours.

If you have an emergency please call Hood County Dispatch at 817-579-3307 or 9-1-1. Thank you!
 

A Reminder To All Hood County Residents,

Due to the high temperatures and continued risk of heat stress for wildlife and other animals, trapping is not allowed when temperatures are in excess of 80 degrees.
For example: If the forecasted temperature for the following day is in excess of 80 degrees, do NOT set your trap!

Adoptions and Vouchers 

Hood County Animal Control will now begin collecting an "Adoption Fee" of $85 for non altered animals and $25 for previously altered animals. This will cover the cost of sterilizing the animal plus a rabies vaccination, or rabies vaccination if previously sterilized. The person adopting the animal will receive a numbered voucher for one of 9 local veterinary clinics who have graciously agreed to participate in this program.
