You're the reason tails wag and hearts heal!
Coppell Humane Society was established in 1989 and is a 100% volunteer-run foster based rescue that services the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Since our inception, we have helped thousands of animals find loving forever homes.
CHS is a small organization with a big heart! We are a volunteer-only group with no paid employees and no dedicated facilities, as all of our animals live in volunteer foster homes. Because of this we have minimal operating expenses so the majority of funds we raise go directly toward animal care.
So what does that care include? We provide basic medical care, vaccinations, food, supplies, spaying/neutering, microchipping, and additional care including caring for bottle-fed babies, treatment for infections, chronic illnesses, emergency room visits, elder care, and, when necessary, surgery.
"CHS receives no government funding or support from other humane societies, and adoption fees only cover approximately
one-third of the cost of basic animal care. Therefore, public donations are our main source of support
and an essential part of achieving our goals." ~ Karen Helms, Board President
CHS rescues cats and dogs from animal shelters and also takes in those living on the streets. CHS helps alleviate overcrowding in shelters, saves animals from being euthanized, and places difficult to adopt animals into homes where they can socialize with adults, children and other animals. We also work with local rescue organizations to help spay/neuter stray animals to reduce the overall number of strays.
You are the reason we are able to do what we do! Thank you for helping us help them!
Mission
Our mission is to serve homeless cats and dogs in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding communities. We accomplish this through rescue, rehabilitation, and permanent placement in suitable homes; while striving to reduce their numbers through public education. Achievement of our mission depends on honoring, valuing, and supporting the efforts and contributions of our volunteers, donors and adopters.
Needs
Coppell Humane Society's greatest need each year is donations to help cover the cost of veterinary services for the dogs and cats in our care. We strive to save any animal, without hesitation, who has known or unknown medical issues and without worry of whether we have the funds to cover the costs.
We have no physical location, therefore, we depend on the love and talents of foster families to save animals. Foster homes on average can take in 1-2 animals (sometimes up to five or more when fostering litters of puppies or kittens). While animals are being raised, undergoing treatment, trained, etc. that foster home is unavailable for another animal to be saved. More foster homes means more spaces for a scared and lonely animal to go before finding their fur-ever home.
