PAWTY a Great Success
50 Guests enjoyed the tranquility at the Star Cross Ranch on Sept. 25th – enjoying a delicious dinner by Dine Catering & Events, along with music and laughter. This event raised over $50,000 for equipment for the Clinic and maintenance of the Dog Parks – from sponsors, donations and ticket sales to the outstanding Goodie Bags. Thank you to all for making our 1st Farm to Table dinner such a success.

For the safety of our clients and staff, please have all of your paperwork filled out prior to your appointment time. These forms are available at our website, on this page: https://www.animalfriendstexas.org/clinic/forms-instructions/#.XqRYf_aSncs
- For surgery patients, please remain outside for surgery check-in and discharge. We appreciate everyone abiding by appropriate social distancing standards while awaiting check in. All final payments will be done via phone to speed up the discharge process, and minimize contact between individuals.
- For afternoon wellness appointments, please arrive on time. Once arrived, call the office phone number – 979-277-0400. A technician will come out to speak with you about your pet’s needs. As you wait in your car, each pet will then be brought in for their treatments and returned to you as soon as this is finished. All final payments will be done as you wait.

Attendees enjoyed hot dogs, Blue Bell ice cream, popcorn, and cotton candy. A huge thank you goes to our community for its support and our exhibitors: Reptile Hospice and Sanctuary of Texas, 4 Paws Farms, Animal Friends Clinic, Faske Longhorns, Brenham Adoption Center, the TrueBlue Animal Rescue, Washington County EMS, Brenham Fire Department, Brenham Police Department, and Washington County Sheriff COPS.

Carnival set for Saturday, May 13, 2017 — Best Family Event of the Year. Bring your pup also – and enter the Pet Parade. Read all about it here. NEW ! Pat Guter, author of Catherine & Little Jake will be on hand and signing her latest book. (It’s about two kittens who were abandoned and then adopted by a family. Tells the story of adoption from the pet’s view point. It even contains a coloring book and activities for children. This is her first children’s book about pets.)
The new Dog Park for LARGE Dogs opened on April 1, 2017 – No Joke ! This part of the park is for dogs that are over 20 lbs. There is a brand new dog pond and many tables and benches in the shade under the trees for humans to enjoy while watching their dogs run, play and swim.
We are excited to announce we have a new feature to help serve our clients!
We now have a professional Call Service handling all incoming calls when the Clinic is not open.
This service will be able to answer basic questions, such as when we will be open next, as well as pricing of services. They will not be able to make appointments, as these must continue to be made during business hours when we are open. This service will also handle all emergency calls associated with surgeries to immediately get in touch with our emergency personnel.
Our costs have increased yearly yet we have not increased our pricing in over 4 years. Effective April 1, 2016 our pricing will increase somewhat to help cover the rise in our costs. Click here to read more.
