Our Mission
About Us
Irving Animal Services (IAS) is dedicated to keeping our community safe while promoting compassionate and responsible pet ownership. Through the enforcement of state laws and city ordinances, along with community outreach and public education, IAS works to support both residents and their pets.
We provide humane care for stray and abandoned animals, as well as pets surrendered by Irving residents, ensuring each animal is treated with dignity and respect. Our team is committed to creating a safe and caring environment by connecting animals with loving homes through adoption, fostering, rescue partnerships, and volunteer support.
At IAS, we truly care about our community and the animals within it, and we are proud to play a role in helping every pet find their second chance and forever home.
Services We Offer
Adoptions, Fostering Program, Spay/Neuter Services, Animal Rescue/Transport, Public Education, Volunteer Program
Adoption Process
To adopt you would need to meet the pet. If you are meeting a dog and already have a dog, we highly recommend bringing your already owned dog to the shelter for a play date. Once you have met the pet and you think they would be a good fit, you can adopt same day. Adoption requires the person to be at least 18 years or older, have a valid ID, and a form of payment. Adoption fee will also need to be paid at that time.
How to Meet Our Pets
Anyone can come in during our business hours and meet any of our pets. If they like the animal, they could potentially take them home same day.
