Join us this coming Sunday, June 29th, for a chance to find your new best friend!

More supplies for the foster closets at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control courtesy of our friends at @hwfeed !

Mark your calendars now! We will be back at @maplebranchbrew on July 27th from 1-4pm. Come down and meet your new best friend!

Two lucky puppies were adopted today at @maplebranchbrew , several families signed up to foster, and a handful of other Fort Worth Animal Care & Control dogs got to show off their stuff outside of a shelter environment. Overall it was another great day!

What better way to spend this Sunday than meeting your new best friend?

We’ve got some amazing, dog-friendly pups from Fort Worth Animal Care & Control looking for their forever homes! Join us at @maplebranchbrew until 4 PM today (2628 Whitmore St., Fort Worth, TX 76107).

Come learn how you can make a difference—whether through adoption, fostering, volunteering, or donating. While you’re here, enjoy some delicious food and a cold beer. We can’t wait to see you!

Mr. Bill is out of time. He’s been patiently waiting 71 days at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control hoping someone will notice him.

The shelter is overcapacity—he’s on the urgent list simply because there isn’t enough space. This 9-year-old, 60 lb, neutered sweetheart is everything people say they want in a dog: calm, loving, easy going, loyal. He’s heartworm positive, but treatment is available for free through the shelter and not contagious to other animals.

Found as a stray in April, Mr. Bill recently went on a sleepover with a foster and proved he’s the total package. He loved his pup cup, walked great on leash, enjoyed a nap, and was a perfect gentleman with kids, cats, and other dogs. He’s cuddly, quiet, food motivated, enjoys car rides and water, and just wants to be near his person. This boy doesn’t need much- just a place to call home.

Mr. Bill (A0058287862) is available for adoption, foster, or rescue at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control: 4900 Martin Street, Fort Worth, TX 76119.

Adoptions are first come, first serve in person from 12-6pm every day of the week except Tuesday.

Fort Worth Animal Care & Control needs your help!

If you have considered providing foster care for a kitten or cat and would like additional information, please email FWACCfoster@fortworthtexas.gov. The shelter is currently experiencing an influx of kittens, making this an ideal time to participate in their foster program. Help save a life (or two)!

Meet Denny! 🐾 This perfect pup is URGENT and needs a hero—he’s been in the shelter 120 days. Thankfully, a volunteer gave him a weekend sleepover, and they were blown away that no one has adopted him yet.

They said: “He’s the sweetest little guy. Listed as 3 years old, but we think he’s closer to 1.5. Still has puppy energy but calmed quickly indoors.”

Denny got along great with our resident dog—even when that dog kept stealing toys out of Denny’s mouth- Denny was patient and easygoing like an absolute angel. Once the excitement wore off, he became a sleepy cuddle bug and shadowed us all weekend, giving nonstop kisses.

He’s potty trained, treat motivated, and though he knows just a few commands, he’s very smart. He learned two new ones in under an hour and clearly enjoyed it!

Denny (A0057856614) is 3 years old, 53 lbs, neutered male, found stray on February 15th, and available for adoption, foster, or rescue with Fort Worth Animal Care & Control: North Animal Campus- 351 Hillshire Drive, Haslet, TX 76062.

PLEASE EMAIL if you can save his life: FWACCTag@fortworthtexas.gov

An incredible, dedicated volunteer asked us to share this deserving boy!

She says: I am heartbroken to share that Batman, a sweet and loving shepherd mix who has been at the shelter since January, is out of time at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control. Due to overcrowding, he must be tagged by 5 PM on Sunday, June 8, 2025, and picked up by 5 PM on Monday to avoid euthanasia.

Batman is around 55 lbs and full of love. He’s calm, affectionate, and thrives on human interaction. He’s kennel-trained, great on a leash, and has done wonderfully at adoption events with lots of other dogs and in public settings. He’s friendly with people, gentle in play, and just wants to feel safe and loved.

Like so many black dogs in shelters, Batman has been overlooked again and again. But he’s special. He’s the kind of dog who sticks with you — one you never forget.

Please help us find him a foster, adopter, or rescue before it’s too late. He deserves a chance at the life he’s patiently waiting for.

If you can help save Batman (A0057758624- 1 year old, 55 lbs neutered male, heartworm negative, found as a stray on 1/30), please send an email to tag him and give him the future he deserves.

Having so much fun at movie night in the park with Fort Worth Animal Care & Control and Fort Worth Parks!

ADOPTED! 💜

Staff at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control are desperately hoping to find a hero for this sweet senior girl who captures hearts the moment people meet her.

Meet Wren (ID 58063869) — a 7-year-old, 75-pound German Shepherd with a gentle soul and loving personality.

Wren is well-mannered, knows how to sit and shake, and likely has a few more tricks up her paw. She appears to be house-trained and gets along well with other dogs, enjoying time in the play yards with her canine companions.

She’s already been spayed and has had a mammary tumor removed. Wren is heartworm positive, but treatment is available for free through the shelter and not contagious to other animals.

This loving girl is ready for a second chance — could it be with you?

She is available for adoption, foster, or rescue at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control: 4900 Martin Street, Fort Worth, TX 76119.

Adoptions are first come, first serve in person from 12-6pm every day of the week except Tuesday.

Join us for a tail-wagging good time at Movie in the Park night featuring Dog Man.

Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, snacks, and the whole family (yes, even your well-behaved pups on leashes!) for a night under the stars with everyone’s favorite part-dog, part-man crime fighter. Dogs from Fort Worth Animal Care & Control will be on site ready for adoption! We hope to see you there!

Thank you to Katy Duncan for choosing Cowtown Friends of Fort Worth Animal Care & Control as the recipient of a $500 donation through her company, Hillwood. As part of an employee giving campaign, Katy was awarded the opportunity to select a nonprofit close to her heart — and we are so honored she chose us to support the homeless animals in Fort Worth!

Pictured is her adorable dog Kylo. Kylo is a wonderful ambassador for his breed and a reminder of the incredible animals waiting for a second chance. This generous gift will help more pets like Kylo find the loving homes they deserve. Thank you, Katy.

Thanks to your incredible support, Cowtown Friends of Fort Worth Animal Care & Control has made a strong showing so far during North Texas Gives to Animals, presented by the Communities Foundation of Texas!

But the need doesn’t stop—and neither do we. There's still time left to donate and reach our $2,000 goal!

With nearly 20,000 animals passing through FWACC each year, your donation still has the power to change lives. North Texas Gives to Animals ends tomorrow, so don't miss out on your chance to make a difference!

SHORT TERM FOSTERS NEEDED! Fostering for Fort Worth Animal Care & Control’s transport program is such an easy, fun way to save a life & open up a much needed kennel.

From staff:
We need your help getting our transport dogs out of the shelters by END OF DAY TODAY, Tuesday, 5/27.

We could really use empty kennels and assistance with making sure they all make their trip. To find all their information such as age, weight, transport date, please go to our bio, click Transport Fosters Needed, slide to the right, and look under “Destination Transportation Silcox” and “Destination Transportation North”. There are more dogs in need than pictured on this post.

We supply food, treats and toys.

Fort Worth, TX
Just be local to DFW to short term foster.

More goodies for the foster closets at FWACC thanks to our friends at @hwfeed!

Happy National Rescue Dog Day from us to you!

Adoptable Cedric (A0056007558) is currently in a foster home through Fort Worth Animal Care & Control, but is shopping around for his forever family. He is 3 years old, dog-friendly, and described as a complete goof by his foster mama. We can't think of a better way to celebrate #nationalrescuedogday than finding him a forever home! To learn more, email fwaccfoster@fortworthtexas.gov.

You won’t want to miss out on this opportunity to double your impact. So, mark your calendars and stay tuned starting this Thursday for more information on how to give!

Puppy breath alert!

Seven adorable 2.5-month-old puppies are ready to find their forever families! Their mama was only 26 pounds, so these pups will likely stay on the smaller side. They were raised in a loving foster home where they’ve been socialized with both dogs and kids—and now they’re fully vaccinated and ready to go!

They’re available for adoption through Fort Worth Animal Care & Control. If you’re interested in learning more or meeting your new best friend, email fwaccfoster@fortworthtexas.gov and mention IDs A57981953, A57981936, A57981945, A57981951, A57981956, A57981961, A57981966.

Check out our new blog (link to website in our bio) highlighting the incredible partnership with @hwfeed —an effort that truly shows it takes a village to support our mission. Together, we’re helping keep the foster closet at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control stocked and ready for the pets who need it most!

Who needs some good news?! Link and Kyra came to the shelter together in early February and were running out of time. They had previously been listed as bonded, but a decision was made recently that they could be split up in an effort to get them adopted. Well, today they were adopted today by members of an extended family! Link was the first to steal the hearts of his family but when they found out Kyra would be left behind, grandma decided Kyra would be going home with her. Now, Link and Kyra can live out their retirement years with this amazing family who has three generations of love to give. Be good, sweet pups!

Thanks again to @maplebranchbrew for allowing us to showcase amazing FWACC dogs each month. It truly is a life-saving partnership!!

The pups from Fort Worth Animal Care & Control are here at maplebranchbrew waiting to meet their new families! Come on by until 4pm to meet your new best friend!

Thanks again to @hwfeed for filling another trunk with donations headed to the foster closets at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control!

Meet Ruka! (ID: 57821678)
Ruka is an affectionate, goofy, people-loving Husky mix who’s ready to find his forever home! He’s about 2 years old, around 80 pounds, and full of love and personality. He is HW+ but is beginning treatment soon.

Ruka is dog, cat (dog-savvy ones), and human friendly, and has done amazing at adoption events — even with kids! That said, he's a big boy who loves giving hugs, so probably best in a home without small children.

This handsome guy isn’t fazed by storms, loud noises, or new things in his environment. He’s smart, funny, and knows cues like “sit,” “down,” “wait to eat,” and “go to your bed". Ruka walks well on a leash and isn’t a big barker — though he’ll chat and howl when he’s excited!

Important quirk alert: Ruka HATES crates and does best when not contained in one. When left free during the day he’s been a perfect gentleman.

You can tell Ruka’s had a rough past, but he’s incredibly resilient and still full of joy. His current foster reports that he is "100% a snuggle monster who just wants to be your adventure buddy and couch pal."

Ruka would thrive in an active home that is is ready for a loyal, hilarious, and loving companion.

He is available for adoption and currently in a foster home through Fort Worth Animal Care & Control so please email FWACCfoster@fortworthtexas.gov if you are interested in meeting him!

Last week, we had the chance to celebrate the Fort Worth Animal Care & Control staff with an Olive Garden lunch at all shelter locations and in addition breakfast at the PetSmart adoption centers. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we’ve also been able to keep the animals busy with new enrichment items while the shelter was closed, making sure they stay happy and mentally engaged.

For the month of April, we’ve contributed to enrichment supplies and the foster supply closet with your North Texas Giving Day donations, and purchased supplies and raffle prizes for the recent Kitten Shower.

Because of the community’s ongoing support, we’re able to say YES to shelter staff requests without needing to pause and fundraise each time. We truly couldn’t do this without you — thank you for standing with us and the animals who need us most.

We love happy updates on some of our favorite dogs!

In December 2024, we met Paisley at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control when she starred in a video about dogs selecting their Christmas presents. Her exuberance and zest for life (and toys) won our hearts (as well as many of yours) so we were certain she would be adopted in no time. Sadly, this sweet girl was passed over for months. However, we got news a few days ago that after spending some time at the Petsmart adoption location that Paisley has found her forever home! Based on her adoption and freedom ride photos, we can tell there are a lot of snuggles and a ton of love in her future. Thank you to her new dad for recognizing what a special spirit she is. Be good, sweet Paisley!

Even though Fort Worth Animal Care & Control remains closed to the public, the staff continues to work tirelessly to care for the animals in need. These are challenging times, and we want to take a moment to recognize their unwavering dedication, compassion, and commitment. To show our appreciation, we provided a catered breakfast for both the North and South campuses, ensuring the team knows how valued they are.

Next week, we’ll extend our gratitude to the field staff with a special breakfast as well. Their hard work does not go unnoticed, and we remain committed to supporting the shelter in any way we can during this difficult time. Thank you to all the staff members who continue to make a difference for these animals every day!

Want to join us in supporting a great cause? We are raising money to replace some of the fabric sections of the Kuranda beds we purchased for the North and South shelters over two years ago. Due to the wear and tear from nearly 20,000 animals that come through FWACC each year, we need to occasionally replace parts of the beds to ensure each dog has a comfortable place to sleep. Your contribution—whether it’s $5 or $500—will make an impact. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support!

We are incredibly grateful to a generous donor who has helped make a meaningful difference at the Fort Worth Animal Care & Control North Animal Campus. Thanks to their thoughtful contribution, we’ve been able to purchase 4 new benches for our shelter’s campus.

These benches are more than just a small addition—they are a crucial part of making the campus more welcoming and accessible for everyone. For those navigating the campus, whether they’re visiting, volunteering, or accessing services, having these benches will offer a place to pause, rest, and recharge.

We couldn’t be more thankful for the kindness and support shown by our community, including our generous donors like the family that allowed us to purchase these benches!

Join @ampersandrunningclub on April 19th from 8-11am for a fun morning run (or not) and meet adoptable dogs from Fort Worth Animal Care and Control! Whether you're running or just enjoying the event, you'll have the chance to support rescue dogs and grab some exclusive merchandise, including our popular “Rescue Dogs, Drink Coffee, Repeat” shirts. Don’t miss out on this chance to find your new best friend!

Hanz is now URGENT for capacity!! He is an absolute MUST SAVE! Please please share this perfect boy! He is used to dog test other dogs at the shelter!

Hanz attended our adoption event this past weekend and we all fell in love with him! He is dog and kid friendly, loves belly rubs and will mimic your energy- adventure or chill! Check out his excellent day out with an amazing volunteer.

Hanz 57620649 is 1 year old, 84 lbs, neutered male.

If you can envision Hanz being a part of your life, please email FWACCtag@fortworthtexas.gov

Available for adoption, foster, or rescue through Fort Worth Animal Care & Control.

Another great day at @maplebranchbrew. One lucky baby found his forever home, another has a scheduled meet, and the rest enjoyed their time out of the shelter. These opportunities for dogs to get out of the shelter and show off their true personalities are a key reason why these events are so important. We learn so much about these dogs and how they do out and about, which in the end makes them more adoptable in the long run, even if they don’t find their families at the events. Thank you to all the amazing volunteers and fosters from Fort Worth Animal Care & Control for coming out today and to Maple Branch for being the best hosts we could ask for!

What better way to spend this beautiful day than meeting your new best friend?

We’ve got some amazing, dog-friendly pups from Fort Worth Animal Care & Control looking for their forever homes! Join us at @maplebranchbrew until 4 PM today (2628 Whitmore St., Fort Worth, TX 76107).

Come learn how you can make a difference—whether through adoption, fostering, volunteering, or donating. While you’re here, enjoy some delicious food and a cold beer. We can’t wait to see you!

Thank you so much to our friends at @hwfeed for once again filling a car with lots of amazing donations. These items go a long way towards helping keep the foster closets at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control stocked.

Thanks to your generous donations, we purchased nearly $10,000 worth of martingale collars and leashes to keep Fort Worth Animal Care & Control shelter dogs safe during adoption events, outings, and foster stays! In the past, dogs relied on flimsy blue slip leashes or flat collars that risked escape—but now, 1,750 martingale collars and 1,500 sturdy leashes from our trusted partner, Campbell Pet Company, will ensure their security.

This simple yet life-saving investment wouldn’t be possible without our incredible community. Your support makes a lasting impact on these dogs’ lives, and we can’t wait to see them out and about in their new gear!

Amelia has been at the shelter for nearly three months, and her time is running out. She was found as a stray on December 5 and is now on the urgent list due to length of stay and space. At just one year old and 43 pounds, she is a wonderful dog who has attended multiple adoption events, where she has proven to be well-behaved, great on a leash, and extremely friendly with both dogs and children.

Amelia is a volunteer favorite and loves to give hugs. Despite her loving nature and excellent temperament, she has yet to find a home. The shelter is at capacity, and without immediate help, her future is uncertain. She needs an adopter, a foster, or someone to share her story before it is too late.

Amelia (57399357) is available for adoption, foster, or rescue at Fort Worth Animal Care & Control: 4900 Martin Street, Fort Worth, TX 76119.

Adoptions are first come, first serve in person from 12-6pm every day of the week except Tuesday.
Interested in fostering, email FWACCfoster@fortworthtexas.gov
Rescue tags can be sent to FWACCTag@fortworthtexas.gov

Thanks to the incredible financial support of the Rombauer Family, 393 dogs have been rescued from Fort Worth Animal Care & Control through 9 life-saving transports!

Among them, 65 dogs were saved from the euthanasia list, finding safety through dedicated out-of-state rescue partners and local fosters. Now, these dogs are in loving forever homes—never facing the risk of being returned to FWACC.

None of this would have been possible without the Rombauer family. Their unwavering commitment to the shelter’s transport program has truly been the difference between life and death for so many deserving dogs. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making these happy endings possible!

What an amazing day! Two dogs from Fort Worth Animal Care & Control found their homes, including last call Delilah. In addition, another family signed up as a foster family and will be picking up a dog tomorrow. We are so grateful to all the fosters and volunteers who choose to spend their day with us helping advocate for these amazing dogs and to @maplebranchbrew for allowing us to showcase us shelter dogs each month.

It’s a BEAUTIFUL day to adopt a dog!

We have amazing pups available for adoption from Fort Worth Animal Care & Control! They are all extremely dog friendly and SO sweet!
We are at Maple Branch Craft Brewery @maplebranchbrew (2628 Whitmore St., Fort Worth, TX 76107) until 4pm today.

Stop by to learn how you can support your local animal shelter through donating, adopting, fostering, and volunteering! Don't forget to grab a beer, food, and join us. We can't wait to see yall soon!

You know what helps during a cold snap in Texas? A new cuddly canine! Come join us this Sunday, February 23rd from 1-4pm at @maplebranchbrew. We will be making our monthly appearance with a bunch of adoptable dogs from Fort Worth Animal Care & Control, including Buddy, Lola, and Gingy , who are waiting patiently for homes over their very own. So mark your calendars, tell your friends, and join us for Sunday Funday with our furry shelter friends!
