Avery's Animal Care

09/16/2025

Collin County Animal Services is currently dealing with a possible viral distemper outbreak in the shelter. We have been told that staff and volunteers could use a pick-me-up.

If you have the time this week, I heard they would greatly welcome snacks, sweet treats, sandwiches etc. They usually have a full house of 20-30 staff and volunteers daily.

As ALWAYS, they can use pet food, treats and toys!

If you’re unable to swing by but still want to help, you can donate directly on their website at: https://apps.collincountytx.gov/Forms/AnimalDonations
