Join Burleson Animal Services as we celebrate the official debut of our new Mobile Adoption Trailer with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

This new trailer will help us take adoptable pets beyond the shelter walls and into the community, giving more animals the opportunity to meet potential families at events throughout Burleson and beyond.

The trailer was made possible through the incredible support of our community, and we would love to celebrate this milestone with the people who helped make it happen. Stop by, get an up-close look at the new trailer and help us kick off its next chapter of connecting shelter pets with their new best friends.

We hope you'll join us as we cut the ribbon and celebrate a new way to bring adoptable pets closer to the community.

A big thank you to our sponsors: The Garage Men's Grooming • Guardian Veterinary Center • Burleson Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association • Burleson Police Officers Association • First National Bank of Burleson • SPJST Lodge 180, Burleson • Accents of Burleson • City Market Burleson

Who needs a feel good story this Saturday:

Meet Marco!

Marco was abandoned on the side of the road. It took three days to gain his confidence enough to catch him.

He was severely matted. Once the mats were removed, he had over 15 thorns embedded in his skin that needed to be surgically removed.

❤️❤️‍🩹❤️Check out his transformation photo in the comments. ❤️❤️‍🩹❤️

Marco has since been adopted by a wonderful family! 🥰

His friend, Polo, a young husky, is still available for adoption.

⚠️Public Health Notice – Confirmed Rabies Case⚠️

Hood County Animal Control would like to make the public aware of a confirmed rabies case involving one of three puppies that were originally reported to have been found in Hood County, but were later confirmed to be found on County Road 230 in Erath County.

On June 9, our shelter was contacted regarding three puppies. At some point afterward, the puppies were found on Baker Road in Parker County by a Hood County resident. Although the circumstances of how they arrived there remain unknown, one of the puppies later began exhibiting symptoms consistent with rabies. The puppy was examined by a veterinarian, tested for rabies, and the test result was positive.

We are sharing photos of the puppies in an effort to identify anyone who may have had contact with them while they were in Hood County. If you recognize these puppies and had direct contact with them—particularly if you were bitten, scratched, or had contact with their saliva—please contact your healthcare provider and your local health department immediately for guidance.

This case serves as an important reminder that rabies is present in our area. Rabies is a serious viral disease that affects mammals, including pets, livestock, wildlife, and humans. While rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, prompt medical treatment after an exposure is highly effective at preventing illness.

To help protect yourself, your family, and your pets:
• Ensure all pets are current on their rabies vaccinations.
• Avoid handling unfamiliar animals, especially wildlife or stray animals.
• Report animals exhibiting unusual behavior, aggression, disorientation, or illness.
• Seek immediate medical attention following any potential rabies exposure.

We are sharing this information out of an abundance of caution and to help ensure that anyone who may have come into contact with these puppies can take appropriate action. Please share this post to help us reach as many people as possible.

Photos attached are the three puppies reported to have been found on County Road 230 in Erath County

Toxic trait... do you experience it too?

How smart is this boy? To have been able to survive on the streets for so long.

💚 FEEL GOOD FRIDAY 💚
Meet Roamer—a once-stray pup who spent weeks on the streets of Burleson, cautiously avoiding help but capturing the hearts of an entire community.

With patience, care and a lot of late-night chicken snacks, local volunteers were finally able to bring Roamer to safety. He’s now living in a foster home, where he’s learning to trust people, nap peacefully and enjoy the simple joys of being a dog—like belly rubs, toys and breakfast in bed.

Roamer is thriving. He’s affectionate, gentle and fully potty trained. He follows his people around the house, loves exploring the backyard and continues to surprise everyone with how quickly he's adjusting to life off the streets.

While an early adoption opportunity didn’t pan out, Roamer is now in a new foster-to-adopt home—and so far, everything is going great. He’s already showing more trust, more joy and even gave his very first tail wag and kiss.

Thank you to everyone who has cheered him on, donated supplies and followed along. Roamer may have started out alone—but now, he has a whole city in his corner. 💚

Send us your feel good story for a chance to be featured!
