Harker Heights Pet Adoption Center

The mission of the Harker Heights Pet Adoption Center and Animal Services is to protect the health and safety of our residents and their animals through enforcement of municipal animal ordinances; to prevent animal homelessness and promote humane and compassionate treatment of animals; and to provide the highest quality of care, sterilization and adoption services for the City's homeless and abandoned animals.

We are more than a municipal animal shelter. Through our volunteer and foster programs, on-site veterinary care, community cat initiatives, and pet retention services, we work to improve the lives of animals both inside and outside our shelter. What makes us unique is that we take a proactive approach to animal welfare. As a municipal shelter, we not only provide care and adoption services for homeless pets, but also support our community through foster care, volunteer engagement, Trap-Neuter-Return for community cats, and a pet food pantry that helps keep pets with their families. Our on-site spay and neuter clinic ensures shelter pets receive timely care, allowing us to focus on giving every animal the best chance at a healthy future and a loving home.

Adoptions, Fostering Program, Volunteer Program

Adopters must be 18 or older and have a valid ID. Adoptions are done on site at the shelter, and the animal will go home the same day. We also have a foster to adopt option which allows for a 7 day trial period, with no fee collected until the adoption is finalized.

All are welcome to come during business hours to meet adoptable pets. Any pets in foster homes will require an appointment.
