SPCA of Texas' Ellis County Animal Care Center

For the City of Waxahachie, the police department offers animal control and shelter services.

In an effort to give stray or abandoned animals a decent life, the Red Oak Animal Shelter works to find them "forever homes."

The City of Lancaster Animal Services Division runs the Lancaster Animal Shelter.

The Neighborhood Services Department of the City of Lancaster includes Lancaster Animal Services. Animal Services works to safeguard the welfare, health, and safety of both people and animals in the neighborhood.

When necessary, we will still allow an animal to be redeemed by making an appointment with ACO staff outside of the listed hours.
