Found a Dog or Cat?
The best thing to do is take the animal into any veterinary clinic or shelter and have it scanned for a microchip. If the animal is chipped, you can then start the process of locating the owner.
If the animal is not chipped, you can post pictures of the animal on the Facebook pages such as West Texas Pet Detectives and Midland/Odessa Texas Lost & Found Pets. You can also place a found animal ad in the Midland Reporter Telegram. Posting flyers around the neighborhood where the animal was found is also a very good idea.
Missing your pet?
If your animal is microchipped, start by calling the microchip company and issuing a missing pet alert. This will also help to verify that all your information is up to date should someone find your pet.
You can also post pictures on the Facebook Pages such as West Texas Pet Detectives and Midland/Odessa Texas Lost & Found Pets. You can hang flyers in veterinary clinics and local shelters with your pets pictures.
Lastly, make sure you check with the local shelters to see if your pet has been brought in. Many people will call the shelters, but the best thing to do is actually go to the shelters each day and walk through so you can see if your pet is there.
Needing to surrender your pet?
If you need to surrender an animal please call the sanctuary at 432-683-7387 and speak with one of our caretakers.
Our ability to take in animals is dependent on our available space at the time as we are a Forever-Home, legitimate no-kill facility. If we are able to take your animal in and you are surrendering the animal, we do ask that you bring any records you have at the time of surrender. A $100 donation is required for dogs and cats to help with vet care. If you adopted the animal from another shelter, we ask that you return to animal to that organization.
I found a bird/squirrel/ferret, etc. Do you accept wildlife, large animals (such as horses, pigs, etc.) and exotics?
At this time our sanctuary only cares for dogs and cats.

I need to return an animal that was adopted from your sanctuary. What is the process?
First we ask that you call us at 432-683-7387.
It is our policy to take back any animal that is adopted from us for any reason. We also ask that if you return an animal you be sure to bring in all the paperwork you were given at the time of adoption, and any new records you may have.
I need to have my pet vaccinated. Do you have vaccination clinics?
No. Again, we do not have a vet on staff at the sanctuary.
Midland Animal Services periodically holds vaccination clinics, and you can contact them at 432-685-7420 to ask about future dates of the shot clinics.
You can also check our Facebook page, as we post time and date information once we are notified of upcoming clinics.
I need to get my pet microchipped. Do you do this at your shelter?
Yes! We can microchip your cat or dog any day between 1-5pm, with the exception of Thursdays as we are closed.
The cost is $25, which includes the microchip and registration. The process is very quick and easy. It is a simple injection to implant the microchip, along with a few minutes to fill out the registration paperwork.
I am going out of town and need to have my pet boarded. Can I board them with you?
No, we do not board animals.
You can call one of the many boarding facilities in Midland to find out more information. Also, many local veterinarians board animals for their clients, so you might check with your vet as well.
My animal is sick or injured, but my vet's office is already closed. What can I do?
There are two local emergency animal hospitals. Their contact information is listed below:
Legacy Animal Emergency
2304 W. Wadley Ave
Midland, Texas
