Lucky Luau at Hawaiian Falls
Beat the heat with this end-of-summer pup pool party! Join us at Hawaiian Falls Waterpark Mansfield for some swimming with your canine companions. The following attractions are open for the Lucky Luau: Wave Pool, Turtle Cove, and (small dog) Island.
Admission is $19.99 per person (or $10 for Season Pass holders) including up to two dogs, with proceeds benefiting the Mansfield Animal Care and Control "Lucky Fund" which helps provide medical care for stray pets. Dogs must be spayed or neutered and have a valid City Pet License issued by the Mansfield Animal Care and Control.
Participants must complete an Attendee Agreement and Responsibility Waiver and register online prior to admittance to the Hawaiian Falls Waterpark.
Spay and Neuter Grant Program
Join the Mansfield Animal Shelter as we partner with the community to bring spay and neuters to Mansfield pet parents in need. As winners of their 2022 grant competition from the Texas Coalition for Animal Protection (TCAP), we're offering the $10,000 award in vouchers to Mansfield pet owners on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Please use the application below and return it to the Mansfield Animal Shelter at animalcontrol@mansfieldtexas.gov or 407 Industrial Blvd. Mansfield, TX 76063 to join take advantage of the grant while funds are still available.
Doggy's Day Out Program
Animal Shelters are high-stress environments for many dogs and getting the opportunity to leave and get some exercise makes a huge difference! Sign up today for our Doggy's Day Out program - once approved, you can "check out" a shelter dog for up to 3 hours.
Our "Doggy's Day Out" program is one of the easiest ways to get involved in short term fostering!
Stop by the shelter at any time during our open hours to check out our adventure-ready pups. Make sure to bring your ID with you, and fill out our registration form and Doggy's Day Out agreement. After that, take your pup on their greatest adventure - and don't forget to take lots of photos and videos! All dogs are required to be back by 4pm.
Foster Program
Even at the best-run, best-funded shelters, shelter life increases stress, chance of disease, can have major effects on a pet's emotional state and quality of life. Fostering is better for pet, the community, and greatly increases the shelter's space!
Studies show that when pets go into foster care, they get to practice forming bonds with people, which helps them bond with their adoptive family. Learn more about how to foster today and give us a call!
Fill out our Foster Application Form and get started today.
Pet Food Pantry
At the Mansfield Animal Shelter, we know hardship can sometimes lead to the heartbreaking decision to surrender a pet. We are committed to keeping more pets and families together, and to help reduce the number of animals that are rehomed due to financial challenges. We operate a Pet Food Pantry at the Mansfield Animal Shelter, located at 407 Industrial Blvd., which is open on a walk-in basis between 9:00am and 5:00pm, Monday through Friday. Dog and cat food is available, and owners can stop in to pick up free pet food that has been donated by our generous volunteers.
