Response to COVID-19:

• No owner-surrendered pets at this time, unless it is an owner requested euthanasia.
• Field calls will still proceed as normal Monday-Friday during our business hours at this time. 
• We will not be renting/servicing traps at this time. 
• Animal adoptions will continue by appointment only, to see our adoptable animals please click here. If you know which animal you are interested in adopting please call the Adoption Center at 972.919.8770 to schedule an appointment. Appointments will be in 30 minute increments between the hours of 11 AM - 4 PM Monday-Friday and 9 AM - 2 PM on Saturday. 
• Lost and Found reports may be emailed to animalservices@farmersbranchtx.gov, or you may call the Adoption Center at 972.919.8770.
