“Many have forgotten this truth,... You remain responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.”   
                                                        —Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Bryant Animal Control is responsible the enforcement of local and state laws regarding companion animals within the Bryant City Limits.  In doing so, we must occasionally impound and accept unwanted animals.  The animals are held for a minimum amount of time per local ordinance and then made available for adoption when appropriate.

Need to re-home your pet or found pet?  No problem!  We can help!  No matter where you live, we can do a courtesy posting on our adoption website.  Your pet's information will appear just like those you see above.  The only difference will be that potential adopters contact you directly for more information about the pet and to schedule a date/time to meet the animal.  Email any member of our staff or call the shelter for more information about how to have your pet listed.  NOTE - We will not post listing for animals for sale.
