TERRELL, Texas — The City of Terrell Animal Adoption Center reached MAXCAP level red yesterday and is hosting an animal adoption event Saturday to lower the shelter’s census numbers.
The adoption event will be held from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturday, January 30, 2016, at the Forney VFW Post 9180 which is located at 13300 Farm-to-Market (FM) 1641.
The adoption event will allow for any of the available animals to be fostered, rescued, or adopted to reduce the shelter’s MAXCAP level.
MAXCAP level red “indicates the shelter population is at or above 30 animals and signals the shelter is no longer able to provide a Capacity for Care for the animals in their charge,” the shelter stated. “Action shall be taken within 48 hours of reaching MAXCAP Red status to remedy the situation, up to and including humane euthanasia.”
The shelter has several dogs available for adoption on their Facebook Page and their website.
The cost of adoption is $70.00 and includes having the pet spayed or neutered and a rabies vaccination. If you live in the City of Terrell, it also pays for the first year of city registration, according to the shelter.
Individuals can also foster the dogs while they are at the shelter. Fostered animals are not included in the daily census count.
The shelter can only accept cash, in denominations of $20 or less, or checks during the adoption event.
501(c)3 rescue groups can adopt the animals at no charge. For more information on rescuing the animals, email Animal Control Supervisor Jason Renfroe at jrenfroe@cityofterrell.org.
The City of Terrell Animal Adoption Center is located at 2601 U.S. Highway 80 just east of downtown Terrell.
