Pet Adoptions

ADOPTION SPECIAL: To encourage pet adoptions during our peak season, the Animal Shelter will reduce its adoption fee to $25 for cats and dogs until further notice. Some long-stay pets can be adopted for only $10!


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 to 48 hours and on a first come, first served basis. 

The adoption fee is $75 for dogs and $50 for cats and includes:

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

Adoption applications are processed Monday through 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.
