Some of the most needy, hard to adopt animals come through the doors at Tri-City Animal Shelter.

Your donation allows us to invest in life-saving programs that help end homelessness, reunite pets with their families, and provide veterinary care for sick and injured companion animals and wildlife. 

Thank you for giving!

ADOPT-A-KENNEL

Adopt-a-Kennel this year in honor or memory of a beloved pet or loved one and help us save more lives. In recognition of your $50 monthly gift, you will receive a customized placard placed on one of the dog or cat kennels in the Tri-City Animal Shelter Adoption Center.

What can your $50 monthly gift do for the animals who stay in the kennel you adopt?

Your donation helps break the cycle of homeless animals by ensuring that every dog and cat is spayed or neutered before their adoption.

Your dollars allow us to provide veterinary care and medication for pets that have been neglected and arrive at the shelter sick or hurting.

Your generosity supports adoption campaigns, advocacy work, intake diversion, educational programs, and much more -- all crucial to reducing the number of animals coming into the shelter and increasing the number of positive outcomes for our deserving pets.

To Adopt-a-Kennel, complete the donation form as follows:

Frequency: "Monthly" 
Amount: "$50"
Designation: "2025 Adopt-a-Kennel Sponsorship"

We will then contact you by email to design a custom card for the kennel you are adopting.

Adopt your new best friend today!

Augustine Serna works for the Cedar Hill Parks and Recreation department, keeping the city’s public grounds trimmed and tidy. One day in April, he was cutting brush around the pond at Bradford Park when he saw a turtle, a red-eared slider, sunning himself at water’s edge.
