Crowley Animal Shelter & Control: Adoption Hours 2026
If you searched for the Crowley Animal Shelter because you want to adopt a dog or cat, reclaim a missing pet, report a loose animal, arrange a microchip or reach Animal Control, the official local service is the City of Crowley Animal Control / Crowley Animal Shelter at 101 E Hampton Rd, Crowley, TX 76036.
The most important thing to know before driving over is that adoptions are currently appointment-only. The City lists the shelter facility’s operating hours as Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM–5:30 PM, but your adoption visit still needs to be scheduled through the Animal Control front desk.
Start With the Right Crowley Animal Service
Crowley Animal Control handles much more than adoptions. The right next step depends on whether you are adopting, looking for your own pet, reporting a loose animal or dealing with an urgent safety problem.
Adopt a shelter pet
Check the current animal listing, then call 817-297-2201 ext. 3300 to make the required adoption appointment.
Your pet is missing
Call the shelter during business hours. If staff do not answer, leave your name, address, pet description and when you last saw the animal.
You found a loose or injured animal
Use the normal Animal Control line during business hours. For a true after-hours animal emergency, Crowley routes calls through Police Dispatch.
Barking, cruelty or animal-law complaint
Crowley Animal Control enforces local rules involving animals at large, dog bites, barking complaints, rabies concerns and animal cruelty.
Crowley Animal Shelter Adoption Hours 2026

|---|---|---|
| Monday–Friday | Facility operating hours: 10:00 AM–5:30 PM | Call first because adoptions are appointment-only. |
| Saturday | No regular Saturday facility operating hours are listed in the current City facility schedule. | Do not plan a routine adoption visit unless staff specifically confirms an appointment or special event. |
| Sunday | No regular Sunday facility operating hours are listed. | Use online pet listings and plan a weekday call. |
| Adoption | Appointment required | Call 817-297-2201 and ask for extension 3300. |
| Loose-animal pickup | City FAQ says routine loose-animal pickup does not occur after 5:30 PM or on weekends. | Use after-hours dispatch only when the situation qualifies as an emergency. |
How to Adopt From Crowley Animal Shelter
Crowley’s current adoption route is simple but not walk-in. The most useful first step is checking current animals before calling for your appointment.
Check current Crowley shelter animals
Start at the official Crowley Animal Control page . The City links adopters to 24PetConnect for animals currently available through the shelter.
Write down the animal’s identifying information
Save the pet’s name, ID, species, color and listing photo. Have a second choice in mind because shelter status can change before your appointment.
Call the shelter front desk
Call 817-297-2201 ext. 3300 and tell staff you want to schedule an adoption appointment. Ask whether the animal you saw online is still available.
Confirm the appointment time and current fee
The current public Animal Control page does not show a clearly verifiable current 2026 adoption-fee amount. Confirm the exact fee and accepted payment method when scheduling rather than relying on an older fee found elsewhere online.
Bring ID and prepare safe transport
Crowley’s current animal-services ordinance allows the Animal Control Supervisor to deny an adoption when the applicant appears to be under 18 or does not have suitable facilities to keep the animal. Bring government photo ID and a safe carrier/leash plan.
Review medical and sterilization paperwork
Crowley’s current ordinance says an adopted dog or cat must be microchipped, current on rabies vaccination, and either sterilized or released under the applicable Texas sterilization agreement process. Ask staff what has already been completed for your animal.
Use the meeting to judge everyday fit
Ask what staff know about energy, handling, fear, other animals, children, medical needs and the first few days at home. The excitement of adoption day matters less than whether an ordinary week in your home will work for both of you.
Crowley Adoption Requirements Worth Knowing Before You Apply
Adult adopter
Crowley’s current animal-services ordinance specifically allows adoption denial when staff believes an applicant is under 18 years old.
Suitable facilities matter
The Animal Control Supervisor may refuse adoption when staff believes the adopter does not have proper facilities to safely contain and care for the animal.
Adoption can be refused
The ordinance also permits denial where there is concern about resale, abandonment, cruelty, helping a previous owner evade enforcement, or an intention to declaw or house a cat outdoors.
How Much Is the Crowley Animal Shelter Adoption Fee?
A current exact 2026 adoption fee was not clearly published on the City’s current Animal Control page during this verification.
$10 microchipping
Crowley’s current Animal Control page lists microchipping at $10 and says to call for an appointment.
Confirm when scheduling
Do not assume an older fee, promotional event or social-media post is today’s regular adoption price.
Lost Pet in Crowley: What to Do First
Losing a pet can become stressful very quickly. Crowley’s process starts with giving Animal Control enough detail to recognize the animal if it is reported or impounded.
Call Crowley Animal Shelter
During business hours call 817-297-2201 ext. 3300. If staff are away from the phone, the City’s FAQ says to leave your name, address, pet description and when you last saw the animal at your property.
Check current shelter listings
Use the official Animal Control page to reach 24PetConnect. Recheck frequently rather than relying on one search.
Prepare proof that the animal is yours
Gather clear photos, veterinary records, rabies information, microchip details and any paperwork that can help staff identify the pet and confirm ownership.
Act within the hold period
Crowley’s current Animal Services ordinance provides a general impound hold of 72 hours, excluding the day of impoundment, with different periods for some special circumstances such as protective custody or quarantine. Do not wait several days before checking.
Use the after-hours email for non-emergency follow-up
Current City FAQs direct non-emergency calls for service or reclaims after hours and on weekends to ACO@ci.crowley.tx.us.
Found, Injured or Stray Animal in Crowley
Loose or stray animal
During normal hours, call Animal Control at 817-297-2201 ext. 3300. Give the exact location, animal description and direction of travel.
Injured or sick animal
During business hours, use the same Animal Control line. After hours, current City guidance directs true animal emergencies to Crowley Police Dispatch at 817-297-2276.
Non-emergency after-hours issue
The City says routine loose-animal pickup does not occur after 5:30 PM or on weekends. Use the published Animal Control email for non-emergency follow-up.

Dog Bite or Possible Rabies Exposure in Crowley
Crowley Animal Control’s stated responsibilities include dog bites and rabies. A bite can also be a medical issue, so treat the person’s health first.

Owner Surrender at Crowley Animal Shelter
Crowley’s ordinance allows the municipal shelter to accept animals voluntarily relinquished by owners who live inside the City limits of Crowley. That does not mean intake capacity is guaranteed on the day you arrive.
Crowley city residents only
The current ordinance says the Crowley Animal Services Authority serves Crowley city limits only and does not accept animals from county residents or residents of other cities.
Do not arrive assuming intake is open
Contact the shelter front desk before transporting an owned animal. Ask whether surrender intake is currently available, what fee applies and what records you need.
Microchipping, Registration and Local Crowley Pet Rules
Microchipping service
The current City Animal Control page lists microchipping at $10. Call for an appointment before visiting specifically for this service.
No separate City pet registration

Does Crowley Animal Shelter Operate a Public Veterinary Clinic?
Animals in City custody receive necessary care
Crowley’s current animal-services ordinance provides for microchipping, vaccinations and necessary treatment of animals entering City custody.
No regular public veterinary appointment clinic found
Current City pages reviewed for this guide do not publish a recurring public owned-pet veterinary clinic with named doctors, routine exam hours or public consultation fees.
For that reason this page does not invent a veterinarian, appointment fee or `VeterinaryCare` entity.
