Fort Worth Animal Care & Control is an open-intake city facility, meaning we cannot refuse any animals, regardless of their condition, species, or health status. This includes injured, sick, nursing, or behaviorally challenged animals, which presents unique challenges in terms of space, resources, and care.
FWACC collaborates closely with rescue groups, foster homes, and adoption programs to manage the volume and ensure animals have the best chance for rehabilitation and adoption.
The Urgent Placement Pets listed below urgently need help and are at the highest risk of being euthanized. Their situation is reassessed daily to determine the best course of action. In some cases, they may be given more time to find a home, while others may sadly need to be humanely euthanized to prevent further suffering. If an animal no longer needs to be on the Urgent List, they will be removed. Each time a pet is taken from the Urgent List, it creates space and opportunity for another animal in need.
An email must be sent to FWACCTAG@fortworthtexas.gov by 5 p.m. on the day before the animal is scheduled for review. The email should include the following information:
