Winnsboro Texas Animal Shelter

Winnsboro Texas Animal Shelter In 1997, the City of Winnsboro planned and built a 1700 square foot animal shelter to handle the increasing volume of neglected and unwanted animals.

" Help Us Help Them " To provide a comfortable, safe and healthy environment for the abandoned, surrendered, abused, unwanted and lost animals in our community while exerting every effort to locate kind and caring “forever” homes for them. The shelter was started with a $10,000.00 donation and opened, and continues today, as a certified quarantine facility and is inspected annually by the State of

Texas Health Department. The shelter is located on 5 acres of land to allow for growth. Three other Texas cities have used the Winnsboro Shelter plan as a model for their shelters, Jefferson, Bonham and Marshall, Texas. The Shelter currently has 15 indoor dog runs (eight runs measure 3’ x 8’, seven runs measure 3’ x 5’) and 9 feline cages. The shelter handles approximately 1000 – 1200 plus animals each year. The Shelter quarantine/exam room has a 5 unit stainless steel cage bank and a stainless steel exam table. Funds for these items came from the annual garage sale that we have in the spring. In 2025 the Adoption Center was added to the existing shelter creating an additional 4200 square feet.
* Increasing adoption capacity to meet current and future needs by adding 24 dog kennels and 16 cat kennels.
* While also creating a safer environment for a proper intake and holding area for animals brought in by animal services. Although we no longer are a quarantine facility we now have a proper sick/injured holding area.
* The addition improves customer experience by creating a more visible and inviting entrance and animal viewing lobby.
* New dog kennel runs provide fresh air and sunlight for our dog residents waiting for a home.
* Additional upgrades included parking area, fencing, and security cameras.

Remember Grace, we haven't posted her in a few while we were working on our longest residents finding a home. Yesterday she was adopted! Thank you volunteers for walking her and getting her use to strangers. I know that helped her on her adoption day.

Our Story

Winnsboro Animal Shelter 835 Hope Lane Winnsboro TX 75494 Monday – Friday, 8am – 4pm Winnsboro Animal Shelter History In 1997, the City of Winnsboro planned and built a 1700 square foot animal shelter to handle the increasing volume of neglected and unwanted animals. The shelter was started with a $10,000.00 donation and opened, and continues today, as a certified quarantine facility and is inspected annually by the State of Texas Health Department. The shelter is located on 5 acres of land to allow for growth. Two other Texas cities have used the Winnsboro Shelter plan as a model for their shelters, Jefferson and Bonham, Texas. The Shelter currently has 15 indoor dog runs (eight runs measure 3’ x 8’, seven runs measure 3’ x 5’) and 9 feline cages. The shelter handles approximately 1000 – 1200 plus animals each year. The Shelter quarantine/exam room has just been updated with a 5 unit stainless steel cage bank and a stainless steel exam table. Funds for these items came from the annual garage sale that we have in the spring. In 2010, approximately 70% of the Shelter animals were adopted, 20% were moved to other shelter programs in East Texas and Colorado and 10% were euthanized due to illness or injury. The Shelter is working to increase the adoption percentage within the area thru advertising and promotions.

All of the dogs are currently heart worm tested, rabies vaccinated, and get at least 4 doses of 7-1 while they are in the shelter depending on age, as well as other problems they may have. Cats are given their feline shot, rabies vaccinated, as well as other problems they may have. Please stop by any time to see these wonderful animals we have here. Adoptions start at 35 dollars.
