Residents who want to support local animals have several ways to help Kaufman County’s Pet Adoption Center. The county invites volunteers and fosters, and directs prospective adopters to its current adoptable-pet listings. This guide was checked against the county’s official page on November 5, 2026.
Plan a visit or ask about helping
The center lists visiting hours of noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. It is closed Sunday and Monday. The listed address is 1904 US 175. Confirm hours and any appointment requirements before travelling, especially around holidays.
Call 469-376-4120 or email petadoptioncenter@kaufmancounty.net to ask about volunteering, fostering or adoption. The county gives dog walking and helping at events as examples of volunteer work. It does not publish all eligibility requirements, training arrangements or foster responsibilities on this page; ask staff before committing.
Check current animals and requirements
The official county page links to its adoptable-pet listings. Availability can change, so contact the center about the animal you are interested in and the current application process. This article does not claim that a particular animal is available, guarantee a match or quote an unverified adoption fee.
Before adopting or fostering, discuss the animal’s needs and the household’s available time, space and resources with staff. Ask which supplies, veterinary arrangements and follow-up responsibilities apply to the specific program.
Lost pets and stray-animal calls use different routes
If you think a missing pet may have been picked up by county Animal Control, the county directs residents to the Pet Adoption Center at 469-376-4120. For assistance with a stray animal, it lists the Sheriff’s Department at 972-932-4337, which can connect callers with the Animal Control Officer on duty.
Those are the routes listed on the county page; they should not be confused with a guarantee of immediate pickup or a universal service policy for every municipality. Describe the location and situation when you call so staff can direct you appropriately.
The official source below brings together current contact information and the link to available animals. Recheck it before visiting or making a commitment. This is a public-service guide, not a new emergency appeal or claim that the shelter has a specific urgent capacity problem.
