Change lives, one paw at a time!
Your donation goes toward the care of animals in our community!
Some of the most needy, hard to adopt animals come through the doors at Tri-City Animal Shelter.
Your donation allows us to invest in life-saving programs that help end homelessness, reunite pets with their families, and provide veterinary care for sick and injured companion animals and wildlife.
Thank you for giving!

ADOPT-A-KENNEL
Adopt-a-Kennel this year in honor or memory of a beloved pet or loved one and help us save more lives. In recognition of your $50 monthly gift, you will receive a customized placard placed on one of the dog or cat kennels in the Tri-City Animal Shelter Adoption Center.
What can your $50 monthly gift do for the animals who stay in the kennel you adopt?
Your donation helps break the cycle of homeless animals by ensuring that every dog and cat is spayed or neutered before their adoption.
Your dollars allow us to provide veterinary care and medication for pets that have been neglected and arrive at the shelter sick or hurting.
Your generosity supports adoption campaigns, advocacy work, intake diversion, educational programs, and much more -- all crucial to reducing the number of animals coming into the shelter and increasing the number of positive outcomes for our deserving pets.
To Adopt-a-Kennel, complete the donation form as follows:
Frequency: "Monthly"
Amount: "$50"
Designation: "2026 Adopt-a-Kennel Sponsorship"
We will then contact you by email to design a custom card for the kennel you are adopting.

🐾 They may not understand what North Texas Giving Day is—but they understand what it means to be hungry, frightened, abandoned, and alone.
Every animal who enters the Tri-City Animal Shelter arrives with a story. Some have known love and lost it. Some have wiggled through a fence, found their way to the shelter, and later been happily reunited with their families. Others are still waiting to discover the comfort of a gentle touch, a warm bed, and a family of their own.
Your North Texas Giving Day gift gives them more than food and shelter. It provides medical care, comfort, second chances, and hope. It helps frightened animals learn to trust again and gives homeless pets the opportunity to find the fur-ever families they deserve. Whether they find their forever home here in the Tri-City area or are transported to another state, loving families are waiting to welcome them with open arms and open hearts.
They cannot ask for your help—but we can ask for them.
Please give to Friends of Tri-City Animal Shelter this North Texas Giving Day. Your gift—no matter the size—can be the reason a scared shelter animal’s story ends with the words:
“And then, I found my family.” ❤️🐾
Our North Texas Giving Day goal is $28,097—the actual amount it cost to transport more than 100 dogs out of state to shelters and rescue partners
where families were waiting to welcome them.
This total also includes the additional medications and health requirements needed to make sure every dog was safe, healthy, and ready for the journey.
By helping us reach this goal, you are helping cover the cost of more than 100 fresh starts, second chances, and happily-ever-afters.
