Founded in the 1890's and incorporated in 1905, the Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT) is an independent, autonomous society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. One of the largest animal shelters in Texas, HSNT houses 400 to 500 animals each day. Over the past two years alone HSNT cared for over 50,000 animals!
The Humane Society of North Texas believes that animals have intrinsic value beyond their economic worth. Our mission is to act as an advocate on behalf ofall animals and to ensure their legal, moral, and ethical consideration and protection; to provide for the well-being of animals who are abandoned, injured, mistreated, or otherwise in need; to promote an appreciation of animals, and to instill respect for all living things.
In the year of 2006, the Humane Society of North Texas continued to accomplish its mission through special programs offered to the community.

- The Emergency Rescue Division was successful in completing 208 of the 261 reports of injured and abandoned animals.
- The Lost & Found Department reunited 197 lost animals with their owners.
- The Cruelty Investigation Department handled 848 reports of mistreated animals, worked with local law enforcement agencies that requested assistance, and utilized legal means when necessary to remove animals from abuse.
- Our Community Outreach Director enhanced the educational programs by visiting local schools teaching the children the principles of kindness and humane care; proper care and pet owners' responsibility were the main focus at special events; shelter tours show the reality of pet over-population.
