Smith County Animal Control & Shelter

Smith County Animal Control & Shelter Through our Field Services, we aim to protect community members and neglected animals by enforcing laws and educating the public.

Through our Shelter Services we provide quality care and seek positive outcomes for all animals that come through our doors. This page is for dialog between the Animal Control Division and the citizens of Smith County. We understand that this can be an emotionally charged topic for many, but we ask that all comments be positive and constructive. We must all work together to solve this growing problem in our community. For stray pick up or adoption or rescue please call 903-266-4303.
