Central Texas SPCA is a small non-profit adoption center. We are not a public drop off and do not accept stray animals or owner surrenders. We rescue dogs and cats at risk of euthanasia by pulling them into our shelter from high kill shelters. We provide them with a unique home-like shelter with spacious indoor condos for the cats, size-appropriate crates for the dogs, as well as outdoor kennels and off-leash play areas for the dogs. For over 30 years, we’ve been dedicated to personalized, force-free, 1:1 care and attention of each and every one of our rescued animals to ensure they are healthy, and well-adjusted before their adoption. Our adoption process is informative and pleasant with a friendly staff. Since 1988, we've rescued over 7,000 dogs and cats from other shelters and found them forever homes.
All potential adopters will be required to fill out an application which will cover the following: 1. Current and past pets. Some of our pets may not be compatible with your own and we would like to find this out before creating a problem for you. We will also call your vet to verify that your pet has had the appropriate vaccines and HW prevention (dogs) the entire time you have owned them. 2. Animal’s living arrangement. Where will the animal be spending his or her time. 3. Details concerning your residence. We have guidelines governing an animal’s compatibility with his or her living environment, wanting to ensure the environment is the appropriate one for both the family and the animal you are applying for. We require ALL members of a household to meet the animal you are wishing to adopt. 4. References. All applicants must submit 3 references. These must be non-family members. If you have pets currently in the home, you will provide 2 non-family references and 1 veterinary reference. It can take up to a week for our adoption counselors to review your application, contact references and complete the screening process, so animals do not go home the same day. We will take up to two applications per animal.
