The Humane Society of North Texas relies on the generosity of our wonderful volunteers. Their kindness and support enables us to continue our efforts in providing care for the animals in North Texas. From dog walkers to those who volunteer at events or behind the scenes, we couldn't do it without dedicated volunteers!
Our volunteers/fosters are the heart of HSNT. The more help we receive, the more we are able to assist the animals in our care. For more information, contact the main shelter and request the Volunteer coordinator at (817) 332-4768.
