Let me introduce: the wonderful Pets of the Week for the Temple Animal Shelter. You can meet these darling dogs and cats (and many others) at 620 Mama Dog Circle, Temple, Texas and adopt your new sidekick for the summer (and beyond). For more information on any of the resident pets just call 254-298-5732 or visit the website-https://www.templetx.gov/.../animal_services/pet_search.php.

Well, nobody answered my poll question last week 🫤, so I'm going to try again. Who LOVES older pets? I'll go first: ME! I've owned and fostered many older pets and, in my experience, they are soooo easy to love and care for. What you see is what you get, and often little or no training is required.

In this week's list we have Bullet, a 10 year old love bug and he looks just as spunky as Mystery who is only a few months old. So I'd like for you to consider the older pets, the one-eyed pets, the black ones, and the other ones that just get overlooked when they are actually really awesome. Go take a look, and be sure to give the 'misfits' a chance too.

Check out these adorable pets on the Pets of the Week list for the Temple Animal Shelter. You can meet these cuties at 620 Mama Dog Circle, Temple, Texas and adopt your new family member today. For more information on any of the resident pets just call 254-298-5732 or visit the website-https://www.templetx.gov/.../animal_services/pet_search.php.

Today we're going to take a poll. Without naming a breed or type (such as dog, cat, etc.) tell us in the comments what you consider the perfect pet. Size, energy, age, color - tell us what your dream pet would be like. I'll go first: middle aged (5 years or older), 30-40 pounds, calm and cuddly, playful, black or dark, and smart (hmmm, sounds like I just described Gracie). Now it's your turn, drop a comment, then head over to the shelter to fulfill your dream!

We're heading into the hot summer months here in Central Texas, and what better way to have fun in the sun than with a cuddly buddy by our side! Of course we have to use caution and make sure our furry friends are safe in the summer heat - walks in the cooler hours of morning and evening, plenty of shade, air conditioning for us and our pets, and lots of water for everyone.

What? You say you don't have a furry friend yet? Well then, we're here to help. Just head over to the shelter and pick out the one(s) that steals your heart and get ready to have the best Summer ever!

For the last week of April 2026 we have an awesome lineup of stunning pets on the Pets of the Week list for the Temple Animal Shelter. You can meet these precious souls at 620 Mama Dog Circle, Temple, Texas and adopt your new bestie today (or tomorrow).

We're expecting a bit of a cold spell over the next few days in Central Texas so it's the perfect time to run down to your local animal shelter and pick up a perfectly soft, cuddly foot warmer. When the weather gets hot again (and we all know it will, and soon) you will still have the best companion to share your days, your air conditioning, and your pool (or their pool). Just look at these precious faces, you know you have to meet these dogs and cats today!

We'd like to remind you of who we are. We are NOT a shelter or rescue. The Greater Temple-Belton Foundation supplements and helps fund the Temple Animal Shelter’s pet adoption, spay/neuter, and educational programs. It also provides support to the Bell County Animal Shelter.

In past years, the foundation has purchased surgical lights and other equipment for the Temple Animal Shelter’s surgical room. The foundation also pays for surgical medications and supplies, and funds out-of-pocket expenses for part-time, volunteer, or retired veterinarians who do surgeries at the shelter’s operating room.

Often, when funds are otherwise unavailable to enhance the Temple Animal Shelter to better serve animals and get them ready for adoption to good homes, our foundation will step in and help pay for equipment, shelter improvements, or other services (such as medical care of animals) to help provide outstanding animal care!

To make a donation, you can click the "Donate" button at the top of this page.

Donations may also be made through PayPal at [email protected].

Finally, you can mail or drop off your donation to:
Bell County Animal Shelter.

Many people support rescues and other pet charities, but the pets INSIDE the shelters need our help too, so we hope you will consider supporting our efforts.

We have an awesome collection of loving, beautiful pets on the Pets of the Week list for the Temple Animal Shelter. You can meet (and adopt) them at 620 Mama Dog Circle, Temple, Texas and you can get more information on any of the resident pets by calling them at 254-298-5732 or visiting their website -https://www.templetx.gov/.../animal_services/pet_search.php.

Just a reminder, don't overlook the older pets, or the ones that don't look 'normal' (missing an eye or a leg, unusual mixes, or just different). These special pets are just as deserving as that adorable puppy or kitten and can be the perfect match for the family that just gives them a chance. I've found that these unique pets are often so much more than you would expect and just so full of love and gratitude. A few of them are on today's list - check them out and just try to prove me wrong, instead you'll probably find pure perfection!
