Adoption Center Tours
Tours of our state of the art Adoption Center can be scheduled for any size group. For children’s groups, a 20 minute video on animal safety and a group discussion afterward can be included. Our guided tours will show how our animal shelter provides not only a home for lost and unwanted animals but offers a wide variety of services for the citizens of Plano.
Due to the high volume of visitors on the weekends, shelter tours are not available on Saturday or Sunday.
