Due to space limitations, the SPCA of Texas is only able to accept animals that were originally adopted from the SPCA of Texas. Please visit our Rehome-Surrender page for more information.


Animals will be taken in based on available space, by a reservation only that is made on a first-come, first-served basis. At the Russell H. Perry Pet Resource Center.


Each reservation is scheduled 20 minutes apart so that all animals under six months can be assessed with health evaluations and all animals six months and older can be assessed with health and behavior evaluations while the owner waits.


Upon completion of the evaluation(s), notification will be given whether or not the animal will be eligible to be placed in the SPCA of Texas’ adoption program. After they are fully briefed on the evaluation outcome, each person will be given a final option to leave the animal with the SPCA of Texas or take it with them.


The surrender fee for dogs, cats or small mammals is $25.


The following surrender fees apply to persons wanting to surrender a livestock animal(s):


  • $50.00 per small livestock (goats, sheep)
  • $100.00 per large livestock (horses, cows, donkeys)
