Humane Society NBTX, also known as the Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area, is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of animals. While they are not funded by the city, county, or any national humane organizations, they work in partnership with the City of New Braunfels and Comal County to provide shelter and care for stray animals brought in by their Animal Control Divisions. Additionally, they accept stray pets from citizens and pets whose owners can no longer care for them, as space allows.

The Humane Society NBTX handles approximately 4,000 animals each year and cares for around 100 cats and 100 dogs at any given time. Their team is committed to reuniting lost pets with their owners, using microchip scanning and leveraging social media to reach a wide audience. They also strive to find loving new homes for the animals in their care, marketing each pet individually to highlight their unique features.

All dogs and cats adopted through the Humane Society NBTX are spayed or neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and treated for internal and external parasites. The organization also provides veterinary care for ill or injured pets through visiting volunteer vets and local full-service veterinary clinics. Financial resources are crucial to their operations, as caring for 4,000 homeless animals requires ongoing support.

The Humane Society NBTX relies heavily on donations, fundraisers, volunteers, foster homes, and adoption fees. They have a rich history, having been in operation for 35 years, and have expanded their facilities to include approximately 11,000 square feet of space on 16 acres of land. If you're passionate about animal welfare and want to make a difference, consider supporting the Humane Society NBTX through donations or volunteering.

Together, we can create a better future for our furry friends in need
