Humane Society of Harris County

The Humane Society of Harris County was founded in 1991 and has continually serviced Harris County and the surrounding area for 34 years. HSHC currently provides shelter and adoption opportunities for homeless dogs and cats though a small network of foster homes and a small kennel on loan to us by a Harris County resident. Just over 2000 animals have found new, permanent homes since 2008. In addition, we provide numerous outreach programs including: • HSHC Pet Food Pantry, which is run in coordination with the Harris County Meals-on-Wheels program. The program has distributed over 90,000 pounds of food since its inception. • “Tag You’re It”, a pet identification initiative that encourages residents to properly identify their pets by offering low cost microchips and tags. Over 1000 resident dogs and cats have been identified through this program.
