Who are we?

Since May 2006, The Animal Shelter of Texas County has assisted in over 1,000 pet rescues and adoptions. We have accomplished most of these without a facility. We have been able to complete this by placing these homeless animals in foster homes, using our resources with Petfinder and other websites, and working closely with our local veterinarians. In July 2008 we have completed our goal of opening the doors of our newly built shelter providing homes to dogs and cats.

TASTC is a Voice for the Animals. To rescue, nurture, and adopt animals in need is the driving force in our daily efforts to save the lives of innocent animals.

TASTC is PROUD to be a no-kill shelter. A no-kill shelter is an animal shelter where animals are only euthanized if they are too sick to be treated or too aggressive to be suitable for adoption. No-kill shelters reject euthanasia as a means of population control.

Pets that are in a race against the clock for life. We save these animals from almost certain death, seek the medical attention they need and place them into our shelter, foster homes, or adoption homes where they will be given the love and attention they deserve.

 

 

How can you help?

 

 

TASTC IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF FOSTER HOMES!!! IF YOU CAN HOUSE AND CARE FOR A CAT OR DOG FOR 2 WEEKS TO 1 MONTH PLEASE E-MAIL TEXASCOUNTYANIMALS@HOTMAIL.COM. TASTC WILL PROVIDE HEALTHCARE AND FOOD, PLEASE HELP US HELP THEM!!

A 20-acre site with a newly built facility is the home of TASTC. We have only a limited number of kennels available for dogs and cats. Foster homes are one of our greatest assets. Please consider fostering a/an animal(s), it gives another animal a chance to stay at the shelter. Donations in any amount are greatly appreciated. Donations are our only resource of funding and we are only able to keep our doors open from the community's support. Donation receipts will be provided for tax purposes.

 

Volunteers are vital and play an important part in the operation of our non-for–profit organization. We are always needing help! We would greatly appreciate it if you could donate a few hours of your time and love a week-or even a month. There are a variety of ways to help; such as: cleaning, answering phones, working with dogs/walking dogs,(etc.) at the shelter and help running fundraisers.
