We are a city owned shelter. We will only be excepting stray animals from the City of Jacksonville residents .

Our Mission is to find loving homes for all the unwanted animals that come through our doors.

The shelter adoption hours are Mon.- Friday 10:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Sat. & Sun. by appointment only. The Jacksonville Animal Shelter is open and can only take stray animals from Jacksonville, Texas residents and the strays can only be from inside the City Limits of Jacksonville. You will need to contact the shelter as soon as you locate a stray. Let Animal Control know and they will come out and pick up the stray and attempt to find their owner if possible. If you bring a stray in you will need to bring identification and a utility bill showing that you reside in Jacksonville. Please have them with you when you come, you will not be able to leave the animals without correct documentation. We can not except animals from non residents. We look forward to working with the public in getting animals back to their respected owners and if the animal does not have an owner we look forward to being able to place that animal with a forever family.
