APET Animal Shelter

An Animal Control Officer who has been trained to address issues and uphold local animal laws makes up the Animal Control Division.

Cats and dogs can find a warm place to sleep, play, and eat at animal shelters. Each animal is examined by a veterinarian to ensure that it has gotten all necessary vaccines and is being cared for correctly.

In June 2015, the Friends of the Winnsboro Animal Shelter was granted 501(c)(3) status. We are a group of people who are concerned about the lost, stolen, or abandoned dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens in our neighborhood.

The SPCA of East Texas' MISSION is to enhance the welfare of animals, lessen their suffering, and raise their social position.
