Livestock

Although people most often associate the SPCA of Texas with dogs and cats, we offer other animals for adoption such as horses, pigs, sheep, birds, donkeys, ponies, ducks, ferrets, rabbits and mice. All of these adoptable animals can be seen online.

Livestock animals require a separate adoption application (this process is different from adopting a dog, cat or small mammal). You may complete this application in advance on our Livestock and Other Animals page.

The majority of our horses and livestock are rescued by our Animal Cruelty Investigations Unit, and our amazing staff and volunteers then work to rehabilitate them and find them new and loving homes. Rehabilitation can sometimes take months or years.

 

If you are interested in adopting a livestock animal, please fill out a livestock adoption application.

Once your application is approved, our equine staff will contact you to schedule an appointment, or you may contact us at

214-461-1933. Appointments are required to ensure staff are available to help you decide which horse is the best fit for you.

"I'm absolutely in LOVE with Kitty (formerly Kaleigh). I know her name isn't original at all but I just started calling her that until I could think of a name and it just stuck - it's so her! I've attached two photos - she's seriously the most beautiful kitty in the world! She loves to steal tennis balls and bones from her dog sister - she thinks she's a dog! She enjoys going for walks and car rides, snuggling with mom, bird watching, drinking from the sink, playing with her pipe cleaners and getting into mom's makeup in the mornings. I couldn't 'imagine life without her. She's the absolute best!"
