People in unincorporated Harris County and the City of Tomball who have lost pets are encouraged to visit the shelter Monday - Friday, noon to 5:50 p.m. and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Due to communication problems, the website animal photos are currently not available. Technicians hope to have the problem solved soon.
