Bryant Animal Control & Adoption Center

The Adoption Center/Animal Shelter is host to approximately 1,500 animals each year. Whether the animal stays for only a few hours before being reunited with his/her family, or stays for several weeks before being adopted, we treat each pet with kindness and compassion.

We are fortunate that our adoption rate is very high, with approximately 90% of adoptable and healthy pets adopted from our shelter, transferred to rescue groups, or placed with a shelter partner. While adoption is never guaranteed for any pet brought to us, we will do everything we can to place every pet into a life-long home.

Important intake notes

Bryant Animal Control cannot accept animals found outside city limits, and we cannot accept animals currently owned by someone who is not a Bryant resident for the purpose of relinquishment. The shelter may also be experiencing high intake volume and may not be able to accept a pet on the day you stop in.
