Odessa Animal Shelter

The Odessa Animal Shelter, a division of the Odessa Police Department, is a temporary shelter for strays, lost, found, and quarantined dogs and cats. The shelter provides animal adoption services, cares for stray and unwanted animals, and offers education on responsible pet ownership and zoonotic disease prevention. Visitors can adopt or reclaim animals by visiting the shelter with a valid ID. The shelter also handles emergency situations, including animal attacks, vicious animals, animal bites, and injured animals. Customers have shared positive experiences with the shelter, mentioning the adoption of a sweet golden retriever and the care for their feline companions, Anikin and Ahsoka. However, one customer had a negative experience with a veterinarian from a different location, who allegedly euthanized their puppy, Pepsi, without the customer's consent.
