Pet Adoptions

Adoption Event: The Cleburne Animal Shelter will be at the Easter Eggstravaganza on Saturday, April 1 from noon to 2:30 p.m. See details.


Cleburne Animal Services has dogs and cats available for adoption. All animals in the Shelter require an adoption application from potential adopters. This helps ensure that the animals are going to the best home possible and also helps to reduce the adoption return rate. Applications are processed within 24 - 48 hours and on a first come, first served basis The adoption fee is $75 for dogs/$50 for cats and includes:

  • Spay/Neuter*
  • Rabies vaccination*
  • Age-Appropriate Vaccinations
  • Microchip
  • Deworming
  • Heartworm Test (dogs over 6 mos.)
  • Current Heartworm Prevention
  • Flea/Tick Prevention
  • 30-day free trial pet insurance

*Animals that are too young for spay/neuter surgery or rabies vaccinations may be sent home with vouchers to have this completed when age appropriate. Spay/Neuter and Rabies vaccinations are required by STATE LAW to be completed by the time specified on the adoption contract.

Adoption applications are processed Monday - Friday unless it is a major holiday. We do try to process applications the same day they are received so that pets can go home as soon as possible. However, it may take 24-48 (business) hours to receive a reply. All application submissions are answered via email. Incomplete applications will not be processed. Any intentional falsification or misrepresentation is grounds for denial of this application. Incomplete applications will NOT be processed.
