The City of Hurst Animal Services and Adoption Center opened in September, 2021. The facility provides over 16,000 square feet of space for the city's Animal Services Division. 

The facility serves as an adoption center that places a major focus on education. It has the capability of housing 48 dogs, and the housing area is divided into compartments with each compartment containing ten kennels. This allows the staff to separate dogs by size, age, temperament, and personality. Each compartment opens onto a secured outdoor desk that can be used by the public as a meet-and-greet play area with the dogs.

Located adjacent to the main entry is a large housing area for 60 cats. The housing area is designed in a manner that is intended to serve as a display area that encourages the adoption of cats. One of the focal points is the "cat condo" structure.

The lobby area is attractive and encourages the public to visit, frequently. The lobby has the characteristics and feel of a pet store rather than a traditional institutional looking animal shelter. 

The facility does not only care for the medical needs of the animals housed here, but is also intended to be used by local veterinarians offering public programs and clinics.

As part of the City of Hurst Parks facilities, the Hurst Dog Park was added right behind the shelter. The park is divided into three fenced paddocks where dogs will enjoy exploring the spacious lawns and custom design features while pet parents rest on benches or stroll the concrete paths. Each one-acre paddock features a double-gated entry, water bowl and bottle filling station, and dog wash station. Creatively repurposed fire hydrants, reflectors and pipes provide enrichment for dogs with playful challenges including weave poles, A-frames, tunnels and jumps.
