Cedar Park, Texas, is a suburb that lies to the north of Austin. With a little distance between the two cities, Cedar Park doesn’t have quite the homeless animal problem that some other suburbs and cities in Texas have, but there are still animals in the area that are looking for new homes to call their own. Fortunately for these animals, there are a couple shelters in the Cedar Park area that can help.
Texas Humane Heroes is a private, non-profit organization with pet adoption centers across the Austin area and Killeen, Texas. This no-kill shelter seeks to give all pets a happy home. Texas Humane Heroes takes animals from overcrowded municipal shelters - some with save rates as low as five percent - and brings them in until they can find a new home. This organization also provides low-cost vaccination and spay and neuter services to those in need.
Central Texas SPCA has been helping animals in the area since 1988. As a non-profit, no-kill shelter, the Central Texas SPCA gives homeless animals a second chance at finding love and a home. All animals in the shelter have access to shelter, food, and medical care. The Central Texas SPCA doesn’t feel like a shelter environment due to the freedom the animals have in the facility. Instead of metal kennels, cats live in a communal condo area with all kinds of room for lounging, playing, and socializing. Dogs sleep and play in an indoor area that has plenty of room and beds. When the weather is nice, dogs have an outdoor area where they can run, swim, play, or lounge in as well. There is a two-acre area for these dogs to run and play without leashes.
