Created in 2010, this page was modeled after successful urgent networking pages across the US and is focused specifically on promoting animals that are in URGENT need of adoption, foster, or rescue at the Waco Regional Shelter located at 2032 Circle Road, Waco TX. At the time of our original creation in 2010, the Waco Shelter euthanized >85% of the animals who entered the shelter, including healthy dogs/cats, animals with minor/treatable medical issues, a large number of puppies/kittens, and feral Community Cats. Additionally, euthanasia was hid from the public resulting in the vast majority of our community’s citizens believing the shelter never killed animals. Thanks to a group of educated, well-spoken, reasonable animal advocates and key City leaders who were willing to open their minds to progressive, humane animal sheltering policies, the face of Animal Welfare in Waco, TX and at our shelter has changed significantly over the years and since this page was created. Adoption rates have increased, adoption fees have been decreased to be more reasonable, the foster program has been revitalized, the veterinary staff available to help shelter animals is large, and marketing from the shelter has very much improved. But, despite all the advances, we still do not have a perfect system. As of 2018, the euthanasia rate at the Waco Regional Shelter varies between 15-20% (not including inventory). Healthy/treatable animals are still very much losing their lives - which is why this page remains. Additionally, owner reclaims are not as high as they should be due to unnecessary/outdated barriers to reclaim that need to be revised. The volunteer program is also severely lacking which means fewer animals can be saved. Our goal in Waco, TX was never to do ‘okay’. Our goal was always to SAVE THEM ALL. There is still more work to do and we need your help! Adopters, rescue organizations, transporters, and volunteers everywhere around the United States are key to networking these animals and saving lives. Please be sure to SHARE the stories you see here, TAG the photos, and SHARE them again. A friend of a friend may be a Lifeline for one of these Urgent shelter pets. Please keep in mind this is NOT a political forum, but a forum to network animals that are in urgent need of saving. This is an ALL volunteer page that pulls publicly available information for posting; we have no animals in our care. This page is NOT directly associated with the Humane Society of Central Texas or the Waco Regional Shelter.
