We primarily pull the dogs from our two local pounds but we also help the homeless dogs and owner surrender dogs throughout the county by having them completely vetted and either place in a permanent home or send to a no kill rescue group. We also work with, but not limited to, Kingsville, Corpus Christi, Seguin and Nixon.
Karnes County Humane Organization's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Anyone interested in adopting a dog will need to complete an adoption application. The application is subject to vet references and home checks. If the dog is to be outside, we prefer the owner to have a fenced backyard. We ask that the dog be kept on a monthly heartworm prevention and flea medication. The dog will be spayed or neutered, age appropriate, as well as being heartworm tested with first dose of heartworm preventative and first oral flea medication. The rabies, DHPP and bordatella shots are included. If the dog is too young to be altered, the new owner has 30 days from the time the dog is 6 months old to show proof of sterilization.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
