Additionally, every animal has been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and licensed by the City. PetSmart Charities Adoption Centers PetSmart Charities® Everyday Adoption Centers are a nationwide, collaborative initiative between PetSmart Charities and animal welfare organizations. Our goal is to save more homeless pets. The City of Fort Worth operates two PetSmart Adoption Centers as an extension of the Chuck Silcox Animal Shelter.

They are located near I-20 @ Hulen and I-35W at Heritage Trace Parkway. These adoption centers provide space to house adoptable dogs and cats 24-hours a day. This frees up space at the Chuck Silcox Animal Shelter and provides greater exposure of adoptable pets to the public. Humane Society of North Texas HSNT has found homes for hundreds of thousands of abandoned and abused animals. HSNT places animals into loving adoptive homes each year. Potential adopters are carefully screened and counseled before an adoption is ever approved. We pride ourselves on choosing quality over quantity when it comes to adoptions. All adopted animals are inoculated against diseases, received an initial treatment for parasites, altered, and microchipped before going home. Dallas/Ft.
