The Sensible Pet

The Humane Society of  North Texas (HSNT) is a non-profit organization serving Tarrant and surrounding counties since 1905. We are supported solely by tax deductible donations and do not receive funding from county, state or federal entities, nor are we subsidized by any other organization.

Our mission is to act as an advocate on behalf of the animals and ensure their legal and ethical protection; to provide for the well-being of animals who are injured, neglected, mistreated or otherwise in need; to relieve suffering and prevent cruelty to animals. In accordance to our mission, we promote kindness, justice and mercy to every living creature entering our door. Our shelter is dedicated to providing a place of protection for animals in need and none are turned away.

Adoptions

HSNT has found homes for hundreds of thousands of abandoned and abused animals. HSNT places animals into loving adoptive homes each year. Potential adopters are carefully screened and counseled before an adoption is ever approved. We pride ourselves on choosing the quality over quantity when it comes to adoptions. All adopted animals are inoculated against diseases, treated for parasites and altered before going home.

Humane Investigations

Our Humane Investigators are in the field seven days a week investigating reports of abuse and neglect throughout Tarrant, Parker, Johnson, Wise, Denton and surrounding counties. We bring relief -- food, water, and veterinary care. When the owner cannot be educated, our last resort is to legally obtain possession of the animal to prevent further suffering.

Animal Admission

HSNT admits animals from 8-5 seven days a week. When releasing the animal, whether owned or found stray, a signature is required to fully relinquish the animal into our care.

• animals are received only at the 1840 E. Lancaster location

Emergency Rescue (K911)

HSNT is the only local humane agency that attempts to rescue injured animals on a 24-hour basis. Animal Rescue Technicians will make sure an injured animal gets help. The phone number for K911 is (817) 891-5911

Spay & Neuter Program

Preventing the births of unwanted puppies and kittens is one of our most important programs. HSNT requires spaying and neutering of all animals adopted from our shelter. Our Spay/Neuter Assistance Program helps hundreds of pet owners who cannot afford the conventional surgical cost. Our program is available for qualified low-income and senior-citizen pet owners. We will spay/neuter any parent of an animal released to HSNT for free regardless of income.

Volunteer Program

The scope of HSNT's efforts to help animals has always been enhanced by those who give their time, energy and skills to our mission. Our volunteers provide assistance in many areas, including working directly with the animals, rehabilitating and fostering animals, and providing pet services to the poor and elderly.

Lost and Found

HSNT reunites lost pets with their owners by checking the lost and found classified ads and pet identifications. Because our shelter is one of the largest in the state, more lost animals are reunited with their families.

Lost and Found hours are 12-5pm everyday
