About Our Shelter

Founded in 1967, DFW Humane Society is a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter dedicated to giving neglected and unwanted pets a second chance in life through adoption.

Each year, we rescue over 900 pets and provide daily care, food, and enrichment until we find their perfect human match. With no federal or state funding, our pets rely solely on caring people like you to fund our operations. In addition to daily care, we maintain a restricted fund, the Guardian Angel fund, that allows DFW Humane Society to rescue injured and sick pets and arrange for necessary medical treatments so that they can live a full, long, and healthy life.

DFW Humane Society is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit. Charitable contributions to the DFW Humane Society are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. Our tax identification number is 75-1433154.

What others say about us

My brother and I moved to Texas about 7 months ago and knew we needed a dog of our own after leaving out family dog and cat at home with our parents. We adopted our new best friend soon after and have had him for the past 6 months. We loved this shelter. The people were nice, patient, and helpful, the place was clean and well kept, and the animals all got attention. Thank you for helping us find our perfect new family member.

Amazing shelter! Clean, safe, and welcoming place. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a pet to come here. All animals are well taken care of and the staff and volunteers are super helpful!

I just wanted to say, thank you for everything that you do for these precious animals. Your facilities are beautiful and the staff I have interacted with truly love the animals. I have two fur-babies thanks to DFW Humane Society and they are the best thing to ever happen to our family. They bring us joy every single day!

Top notch shelter with a amazing, caring staff. I adopted a dog from there on Christmas Eve and she has brought us so much love and happiness! Keep up the great work!
