Overall, more than 97% of the adoptable animals in Carrollton's care are adopted or go to rescue groups for fostering. Animal Services partners with more than 100 local and national rescue groups to find forever homes for these animals. Each week, a list of animals in need of placement is emailed to each of these groups. The groups, in return, work to network these animals in an effort to ensure that each of the adoptable animals in the Carrollton Animal Services' shelter will be placed into loving homes.
