My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*Meet Butterball Boyd! Butterball Boyd is a handsome Akita mix who is now safe and ready to find his forever home after being transferred from a high-risk shelter. This big, beautiful boy has a gentle soul and a calm, loyal nature that Akitas are known for. Butterball Boyd is still settling into his new surroundings, but he’s already showing what a sweet and affectionate companion he can be. He enjoys attention from his people, walks well on leash, and would love a home where he can feel secure and loved. He does best with an adopter who understands larger breeds and can give him structure, patience, and plenty of love. After everything he’s been through, Butterball Boyd deserves a second chance at a happy life. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a heart as big as his paws, Butterball Boyd might just be your perfect match.

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of East Texas was established in 1963 by concerned citizens after they visited the City of Tyler’s inadequate animal impoundment facility. In 2013 we changed our name to Pets Fur People. The focuses shifted to promoting spay and neuter options, educating the community, and emptying the kennels in a good way. The public continues to view the shelter as a public entity and is typically unaware that it receives no public funding or support from national organizations. All funding for the shelter is obtained through adoptions (18 percent), contributions (37 percent), and fundraisers (42 percent).
