Timing is everything!
Little Bentley (on the right) was owner surrendered today from the waiting list. As he was being processed at the front, this wonderful couple came in with their dog to meet another dog. They weren't a match, but Bentley, who had been in the kennel for only two minutes, ended up being a great fit. Here's hoping this story ends happily ever after!

⭐️ SUNDAY FUNDAY ⭐️

Meet Bibble, she is about 7-8 months old and is a tiny little bean! She is the life of the party and loves to play. We aren’t really sure what breed she might be mixed with, but our best guess is French Bulldog/terrier mix. Bibble is good with other dogs, but she is a puppy and has all the puppy energy and we will ask that you bring any dogs that live with you to meet her to ensure they can get along. Bibble needs a home with either no children or older children. If you think Bibble might be a good fit for you come out and meet her we open Tuesday at 10am 🐶🐾❤️

🚨 LONGEST RESIDENT ALERT 🚨

Gypsy doesn’t understand why she is still here. After 96 days she’s ready for her furever family! She sees all her friends get adopted or rescued but yet no one chooses her! She is an absolute doll! Don’t let her looks fool you she is as sweet as pie! Gypsy LOVES to play, she will play fetch and she will play in the kiddy pool. Gypsy is okay with other dogs, but we still recommend a meet and greet first so we can ensure they get along. We don’t know how she is with cats, but she doesn’t seem to care about them thru the glass door. Gypsy is completely house broken and fully vetted and ready to go home! She also loves kids! She is one of our Sponsored dogs. She is going to make a family so happy!

Our Shelter

The Forney Animal Control started out in a small building with eight kennels and two officers. It was small and hard to function daily and lack of space was a major concern. People began to take notice and started working with the shelter. The new group of volunteers saved many lives during that time. Thanks to the dedication and support from the community and our city council, the larger modern Forney Animal Shelter was built. We are very grateful for the ongoing community support and networking. Together, we have all dramatically impacted the lives of many animals. We strive to continue to help animals in our city.
