Department Celebrates Grand Opening with ‘Empty the Shelters’ Adoption Promotion

On Monday, May 1, 2023, El Paso Animal Services will be opening its third satellite adoption center to the public. The Tails at the Times Adoption Center, the former El Paso Times printing warehouse, is located at 501 E. Mills and will be open from noon to 6 p.m. seven days a week. 

The opening of this satellite location is due to construction projects at the main El Paso Animal Services Center and the need to relocate shelter animals during the project. The new Tails at the Times Adoption Center will also provide the community with a new centralized location to meet and adopt lovable shelter pets.

As for the main El Paso Animal Services Center, it still remains over capacity. While the two dog satellite locations will help alleviate some housing space at the main location, space is limited, and the department is calling for support from the community to help reduce the number of pets currently under El Paso Animal Services’ care. The best way the community can help is by adopting, fostering, volunteering and donating, or by reclaiming any lost pets that do end up at the shelter.

In celebration of the grand opening of Tails at the Times Adoption Center, El Paso Animal Services will be hosting ‘Empty the Shelters’ at all adoption centers, featuring fee-waived adoptions sponsored by BISSELL Pet Foundation and Dogtopia through Monday, May 15, 2023. All adoptions will include the pet’s spay/neuter procedure, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and City license. Pets are available for adoption at four locations, including:

El Paso Animal Services Center (Dogs, Cats, Others)– 5001 Fred Wilson Ave.

Open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Mission Valley Adoption Center (Dogs Only) – 9068 Socorro Rd.
