WORKING TOGETHER TO HELP EQUINES IN NEED

Through strong partnerships and working together, HSNT is helping owners and their animals in the North Texas area. Thanks to a grant from the Texas Thoroughbred Association with support from the ASPCA®, and The Right Horse Initiative, we are pleased to collaborate with the SPCA of Texas to offer the extensive services above to surrounding communities of North Texas.

​

If you need assistance with your livestock such as chickens, goats, cows etc., please visit our Livestock Resource page. For rabbits and other small animals, please visit our Rehoming or Surrendering a Pet page. ​

REHOME

If you need to surrender your healthy equine for any reason, please contact us. We’ll talk through options to determine the best course of action for you and your animal. Equines are received as space allows and by utilizing collaborative partners and foster homes. As we do not have sanctuary capacity, all equines will be adopted out to approved homes when ready to do so.

EUTHANASIA SUPPORT

If your equine is not healthy with a poor prognosis for recovery, HSNT may be able to assist. HSNT strives to alleviate the suffering of all animals where rehabilitation is not an option. Once your case is qualified, HSNT will cover a percentage of a vet visit to provide end-of-life relief to your equine in need (available for horses, donkeys, and mules only). ​Please fill out our Equine Assistance Form and a staff member will reach out to discuss your specific situation.

KEEP AT HOME

If you have fallen on hard times financially but feel you can still provide good welfare for your equines long-term, You may be eligible for additional assistance. Please fill out our Equine Assistance Form and a staff member will reach out to discuss your needs. Once your case is qualified, HSNT will cover a percentage of an equine vet visit to provide one-time care benefits such as shots, teeth floats, minor illnesses, and basic care. If you need to surrender your equine or livestock, please contact our Equine & Livestock Department at .817.891.6203 or email equine@hsnt.org. ​

Life can be unpredictable, and we understand that equine owners may face challenges that require temporary feed assistance in caring for their beloved animals. If this describes your current situation, the Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT) may be able to offer resources to help temporarily relieve the pressure.

HOW IT WORKS

Submit Your Request: Equine owners can quickly submit a request for temporary feed assistance, detailing their specific needs.

 

Connect with our Team: Our Equine team will then evaluate your needs to see if we have any programs that would benefit you.

 

Receive Resources: Our team will reach out and speak with you to let you know what resources are available to you.

 

Although not everyone will qualify for financial assistance, our team will be able to provide options and resources for you based on your specific circumstances. This program is specifically designed for short-term needs, providing a quick and effective solution when life throws unexpected challenges your way. Currently, this program is only available for equines (horses and donkeys).
