Euless Animal Shelter Renovation & Addition

The Euless Animal Shelter renovation and addition at 1517 Westparkway in Euless, Texas, passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in February 2026, marking the completion of construction. This project involved transforming two existing structures into a single consolidated facility, a significant upgrade for the city's animal care infrastructure. The work was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under the filing name Euless Animal Shelter Renovation & Addition.

The scope of work centered on renovating two existing buildings and combining them into one structure. A new addition was built to bridge the gap between the original buildings, while a sally-port addition was constructed on one side to enhance security and intake operations. The project also included parking modifications and the creation of new fenced outdoor spaces equipped with artificial turf, providing safer and more controlled environments for the animals.

Project Scale and Cost

With an estimated cost of $4,500,000 and a total size of 14,000 sq ft, the project represents a substantial investment in municipal facilities. At $321 per square foot, the cost per unit area is above the county median of $175 for similar additions to existing buildings in Tarrant County. The scheduled build window was 273 days, which is longer than the county median of 184 days, reflecting the complexity of integrating two separate buildings into a cohesive operational space.

The City of Euless served as the owner of record, with Williams Tharp Architects listed as the design firm. Melvyn Archer was the registered accessibility specialist ensuring compliance with state standards. The project involved public funds and public land, aligning with the city's broader portfolio of infrastructure improvements in the area. Construction began in November 2024, following plan review completion in September 2024.

For context, the Euless Animal Shelter is one of several major projects undertaken by the City of Euless, which has other TDLR-registered initiatives totaling over $32 million. The design firm, Williams Tharp Architects, has also been involved in other significant projects in the region, including facilities in Fort Worth and Irving. The completion of this shelter renovation marks a milestone in the city's commitment to modernizing its public services and animal care capabilities.
