Most Petsmart and Petco stores have pet adoptions, but these are the local shelters with brick and mortar facilities. They are not all open for adoptions, some are catch and kill. Please call first before visiting. If you live in one of the communities where your shelter is catch and kill, please write your local politicians to let them know that this is not how you want your tax dollars spent.

Keeping Your Pets Safe While Driving
Finding a Lost Pet
Did you know that in the State of Texas, you lose the ownership of your pets if you do not claim them within 72 hours? Do not delay in searching for a missing pet. Micro-chipping your pets increases your chances of getting them back by over 40%! Most shelters scan animals at intake. Make sure you call your micro-chip company if your pet is chipped to alert them the pet is lost. Also, be sure to double check the contact information they have on file for you.
When you search websites for a lost pet, keep the criteria vague. Do not refine searches by breed or even color to allow room for error. The shelter staff, rescue, or good Samaritan entering the information in the database is simply guessing at breed and may not describe your pet in the way you would.
Internet searching is helpful, but it does not replace physically going to the shelters and looking for the animal yourself. Do not call and take the staff's word that your pet is not there as they stay very busy and again, may not view the animal in the same way you do.

If you find a lost pet...
Always have the animal scanned for a microchip. This can be done at almost any veterinary clinic or shelter as well as some other pet related businesses and fire stations. Here is a link to a universal microchip lookup tool...
AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup
If you find the chip is not registered, ask the chip company who originally purchased it and follow up with them directly to see if they can assist. This will generally be a veterinary clinic, rescue, or shelter, and some of these organizations may be willing to take the animal back, if necessary.
If you run into a dead-end chip, request the assistance of a microchip tracker here...
