Due to the increased number of animals being surrendered to HSNT's facility and the extremely high call volume, we ask that you fill out the surrender form, to request an appointment. We appreciate your patience.
The Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT) is here to help each family work through the best options for their pet(s), including rehoming and surrendering. Below are the most common recommended steps.
If you need to surrender a farm animal such as a horse, goat, pig, chicken, etc., please visit our Equine Resources & Livestock Resources pages to view all available options. If you have further questions, please contact our Equine & Livestock Department at 817.891.6203 or email equine@hsnt.org.
Before surrendering your pet to any shelter:
Contact HSNT and other organizations focused on helping owners keep the fur families together, for resources that may be available to help you keep your pet.
Try to rehome your pet with a friend or family member who you know and trust.
