To help restock the Pet Food Bank, for the month of April, Tyler Animal Services is waiving adoption fees for dogs and cats with the donation of at least six bags of dog or cat food 15 lbs. or smaller. 

The Pet Food Bank was established in 2015 so that families in need or those who could not afford to feed their pets would have a safety net to keep pets in their homes. Many times, people who want to surrender a pet only need time to get over a short-term financial hurdle.   

The Pet Food Bank provides assistance through donated food and cat litter. Over the years, more than 36,000 pounds of food and litter have been distributed. All donated items go back into the community and are not used by the animals kept at the shelter.   

Donations can be dropped off at the Tyler Animal Shelter, 4218 Chandler Highway, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The standard adoption fee for dogs is $120, and for cats, it is $80. All animals adopted from Tyler Animal Services are spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.   

If you would like to adopt, see all pets available for adoption and submit an application on the Tyler Animal Services webpage. For more information, call (903) 535-0045.
