City Of Castroville Animal Shelter & Donations

City Of Castroville Animal Shelter & Donations

The Animal Services & Code Compliance Department also runs the City's Animal Shelter. This is where the city houses dogs found to be at large within the city hoping to reunite them with their owners or adopt them to a new owner. If you are looking for a new Best Friend, please call our Animal Services Officers to schedule an appointment to come meet with our adoptable dogs. Lost and Found pets, Adoptable Dogs, and latest news/updates for our department can be viewed on our Facebook Page or on our Next-door Page. At this time, the shelter is located in a secure area not accessible to the public. All intake or adoption meets happen by appointment with our Animal Services Officers. The Shelter is also only equipped for dog intake and to hold cats temporarily for TNR services. Cats cannot be held long term. 

Donations for the shelter are also accepted during City Hours of operation and can be dropped off at the Castroville Police Department or at Castroville City Hall. Items we can always use to help keep the dogs and cats under the City's care comfy, clean, and happy are:

• Gently used or new towels, and blankets. 
• Paper towels, Baby wipes, Puppy pads, Cotton balls, Q-tips, and trash bags in all sizes.
• Hand Sanitizer, Bleach, Dish & Laundry Detergents.
• Puppy/Kitten canned and dry food, Puppy and kitten formula and bottles.
• Dog/Cat dry and canned food, treats, and toys (no balls).
• Kitty litter and litter pans, Carriers and Dog crates (All sizes)

Even items that are not on the list may be able to be of use to us or people in need. If you have questions about items you'd like to donate, please call 830-931-5013.

We also have the ability to accept monetary donations which are strictly used for services like TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release), Vet care for the animals in the city's care, and hosting Low Cost Spay and Neuter Events. If you think we are doing a good job and would like to contribute to any of these lifesaving services, you can make a donation in person at Castroville City Hall, Donate over the phone by calling City Hall at 830-931-4070, or online by clicking Donate Here! All donations are greatly appreciated and please accept our advanced thanks for donating and being a part of our mission to save lives.
