Consider Adopting a Fuzzy New Family Member!


We were excited to have multiple pets adopted from our shelter during the holidays! Let's keep that trend going as we get into the new year. Here are some pets still awaiting a forever home.



Ferguson is a 4-year-old male Domestic Short Hair cat: Hello, I'm Ferguson. My days are filled with exploration, soft naps, and endless curiosity. I'm the kind of cat who loves to lounge around, but I never miss an opportunity to investigate a new sound or scent. I'm quite the cuddler too, always ready to snuggle up for a good petting session. Life here is comfortable, but I dream of a home where I can share my calm demeanor and inquisitive nature. Why adopt me? Because I promise to fill your life with purrs, head rubs, and a unique companionship that only a cat like me can offer.


Simon is a 3-year-old male Domestic Short Hair cat: Hello there, I'm Simon. I'm a curious soul, always exploring my surroundings. My independence means I don't need constant attention, but I do enjoy good company. I'm mellow, preferring a peaceful environment to a chaotic one. My loyalty? Unquestionable. I'll be by your side when you need me. I may not be a kitten anymore, but I have plenty of love to give. Why should you adopt me? I'm the perfect companion for those seeking a low-maintenance, loving pet. I promise we'll make great memories together.

All pets adopted from the Town of Sunnyvale will be vaccinated, dewormed, spayed or neutered and microchipped. If they have not been done, the adopter will receive a voucher to have them done. All fees are waived to adopt any of our pets.


If your family is ready to add a member, we currently have many adoptable animals in our shelter looking for a new place to call home. Learn more by visiting our Petfinder page or calling (214) 862-4525.



Capital Projects Updates Available


Several major projects are underway in Sunnyvale to improve infrastructure, roadways and provide for beautification.. Residents and others who are interested and check the Town Projects page on the Town website for the latest information on these projects.


Saving Water = Saving Money


Remember, your annual wastewater rates are based on your water consumption during the months of December, January and February, which can save you about $200 each year.


Reducing indoor and outdoor water use this winter will save you money all year round.
