City of Sherman
Animal Shelter
We have many wonderful animals available for adoption at the Sherman Animal Shelter. All of these animals were relinquished to us by their previous owner or have become the property of the City due to no owner claiming them after a stray holding period. Our staff and volunteers ensure our dogs and cats receive lots of enrichment and socialization while awaiting their forever homes. Adoption fees are $50 for dogs and $40 for cats. This includes spay/neuter, the first set of vaccinations, a heartworm test for dogs, and a microchip. If you're interested in adopting a pet, stop by for a visit and one of our trained staff members will assist you in your search for the perfect addition to your family!
Sherman Animal Services partners with Sherman citizens, veterinary health professionals, and animal welfare organizations to promote responsible pet ownership and provide for the safety and well-being of the animals in our care awaiting adoption. Sherman's Animal Services Officers facilitate adoptions, assist with injured and nuisance wildlife, capture stray animals, and enforce state and local animal laws throughout the city.
Is my dog/cat at the Sherman Animal Shelter?
If you have lost a pet, we want to help. Please call us 903-892-7255. We hold stray animals for three days before we allow adoption by families or rescue groups.
How can I adopt an animal from the shelter?
Please come by and visit the Sherman Animal Shelter to pick out your new pet. We have a minimal cost for adoption - $50 for dogs and $40 for cats, which covers the cost of a basic exam, spay/neuter and rabies vaccination.
Volunteer!
You can help us take care of animals in our shelter by walking, bathing and socializing them. Please complete the volunteer application and bring it into the Sherman Animal Shelter office. Our friendly staff would love to have an extra pair of hands!
After Hours Assistance
Our Animal Services Officers are on duty seven days a week, including holidays. If you need emergency assistance with an animal problem after hours please call Sherman Police dispatch at 903-892-7290 and request an animal services officer.
Sherman Dog Park
The Sherman Dog Park is the ideal location for you and your best friend to hang out. The dog park is located inside Fairview Park, 1121 W. Taylor Street. When entering Fairview Park from the east continue past the soccer and baseball fields until the road Y’s in front of Veteran’s Baseball Field. Take a right and it will lead you straight to the Dog Park.
The park features plenty of benches, trash cans, mutt mitts, and two separate play areas for different sized dogs. Owners taking their dogs must remember that they are fully responsible for their dogs at all times. Any dog that is left will be taken to the local animal shelter.
If you would like to support the future growth of the Sherman Dog Park and memorialize your pet forever, click here to purchase a brick that will be engraved and set in the walkway into the dog park.
