The board, staff, and volunteers at the Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT) are motivated by our unifying belief: kindness to animals is part of what it means to be human.

Founded in 1905, HSNT has been saving lives for nearly 120 years and is the oldest animal welfare organization in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We are much more than an animal shelter; we are a resource to the entire community, offering a variety of innovative, affordable, and lifesaving services.

HSNT provides services that include pet adoptions, free or low-cost spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, returning lost pets to their owners, and cruelty investigations. HSNT operates four pet adoption centers across North Texas and a transition facility in Tarrant County, as well as a 33-acre equine and livestock ranch located in Johnson County. In 2023, HSNT helped 17,334 pets and proudly achieved a live release rate of 97%.
