Galveston County Animal Services

In order to house, feed, and provide medical care for the dogs and cats accepted into our adoption program, Bay Area Pet Adoptions, a non-profit, 501(c)3 No-Kill shelter, pet rescue, and adoption organization, depends on donations from the general public.

We advocate for and defend the welfare, safety, and health of both people and animals. We hope for a time when animals are cherished and independent of human care.

The Galveston Island Humane Society, Inc., founded in 1981, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Originally founded by concerned citizens to rescue animals from "the pound," much has changed. Today we have a humane shelter, providing care for lost or homeless pets, reuniting pets with families, and encouraging the adoption of pets needing homes.

League City Animal Care is here to help the community and give each animal that enters our doors a safe and loving home. In Galveston County, we are the only municipal no-kill shelter.

The Animal Control Division is in charge of enforcing the Animal Code, which includes the management of dangerous or aggressive animals, the impoundment of stray animals, the provision of humane animal traps for resident use, the transfer of caught animals, and rabies monitoring and control.
