DFW Humane Society

DFWHS provides daily care, food, vaccinations and other essential needs and enrichment at a cost of approximately $25,000 each month. Additionally, through our Guardian Angel Fund, we help pay for medical costs and life-saving treatments for pets in need. In the last year, DFWHS paid for 22 heartworm treatments and 14 major orthopedic procedures or leg amputations. In doing so, we are giving animals who have literally been thrown away a chance at a healthy and happy life.

Our Needs

Life is about second chances - which is what the DFW Humane Society provides to thousands of animals looking for their new forever homes.

We rescue all sorts of pets - dogs, cats, snakes, rabbits and the occasional pig - who have been abandoned, rejected, neglected or injured, and match them with new owners who will love and care for them.

Our greatest area of need is financial support for our Angel Fund program:

- Our Guardian Angel Fund helps offset medical costs and special care for pets in our shelter who require veterinary care for injuries or medical conditions, like broken bones or heartworm disease. We want our pets to be as healthy as possible so that they have the best chance at being adopted.
- Our Angel for Keeps program offers resources and financial assistance to pet owners who might otherwise surrender their pets to a shelter due to a temporary inability to care for them stemming from medical conditions, behavioral problems, or changes in living situations.

Be an Angel for a pet in need today. Every gift - no matter how small - can make a life-changing difference for an animal who just wants to be love by a new forever family.

DFW Humane Society and Irving Animal Services have partnered to offer free spay/neuter, microchip, and rabies vaccination services for owned dogs and cats to qualifying Irving residents. This program is provided by donations to DFW Humane Society.
