Donations Welcome

If you have lost your pet, you can call the CTSAC and we will fill out a Lost Pet form for you, this way we can monitor pets coming in and call you if yours shows up. CTSAC has only 2 to 3 staff members at a time caring for 100 to 200 animals, so our staff time is limited. Even after calling in a lost report, you should monitor our website daily, to try to spot your pet. We have lots of animals and cannot guarantee that we will find it. Stray animals brought into our shelter are held for 72 hours before being put up for adoption, and all animals that come in are scanned for microchips. Don't forget that you can put a free ad for lost/found pets in the Brownwood Bulletin. You can also contact KOXE to get your lost pet announced on the radio.

If you have found a pet and would like to keep it, we encourage you to call us so we can fill out a Found Pet form for you, so that if an owner is looking for their lost pet they have a chance to be reunited. We also ask that you bring the pet into us for a microchip scan.

Bringing us a picture of your lost pet helps gives us a better chance of identifying it quickly and accurately. At the end of a long day, ten border collies look pretty similar to us. If there is something unique about your lost pet, please let us know.

We also encourage you to get your pet microchipped before it is lost, and after you find it. Microchips only cost $20 and are your best bet at your pet being reunited with you through the shelter. You can read about our microchipping program here.

If you have witnessed animal cruelty, we encourage you to call animal control at (325) 646-2525 if you live in the City of Brownwood, or Amy Abernathy, our Cruelty Investigator, at (325) 646-0617. You can choose to be anonymous, and the animal control officer or Ms. Abernathy will investigate the pet in question. Please do not hesitate to report suspected cruelty. If you wait too long, the animal will needlessly suffer and might even die.

We will post any news related to our animal cruelty investigations on a separate page. Please visit our animal cruelty investigations page for more information.
