Adoption Procedures

The Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapters 826 and 828, requires that all adopted animals are to be sterilized and rabies vaccinated.
To adopt an animal, you must be at least 18 years of age with a valid ID.

Animal Services cannot guarantee the health, temperament, or specific breed of the adopted animal.
Animal Services will allow for the adopted animal to be returned within seventy-two (72) hours subsequent to the adoption free of charge but will not receive compensation for the adoption fee. After the seventy-two (72) hour return period, surrendering the adopted animal to the shelter in the city that you reside will be required.

TCAS ALUMNI Facebook Page

This group is for families that have adopted pets from The Colony Animal Services to share updates of their furry family member. 

*Please tell us a little bit about your pet in each post so that they may get a chance to be feature on our main page.* 

We spend time one on one with each animal and we get to know them on a personal level. Staff and volunteers love seeing the animals they care for, thriving, in their new forever families. ALUMNI PAGE
