The City of San Angelo Animal Services Division exists to prevent the spread of disease from animals to humans, enforce local and state laws and increase the number of animals that leave the animal shelter alive. If you’ve been bitten by an animal, then please call Animal Services to report the incident.

Concho Valley PAWS is the vendor contracted with the City of San Angelo to facilitate adoptions for animals housed at the San Angelo Animal Shelter.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, PAWS also provides veterinary care for shelter pets, foster programs, and low-cost spay and neuter programs.
