Humane Tomorrow

Be a HERO for a more Humane Tomorrow and help us honor Amy Stumvoll with Amy's Fund.

Humane Tomorrow (HT) was founded in 1997 and is one of the most respected humane organizations in North Texas because of our innovative and comprehensive approach to animal rescue and welfare. Animals are housed in foster homes with families to care for and get to know the animals before they are adopted. Every animal adopted through Humane Tomorrow is fully vetted, altered, and medically and behaviorally ready to start their new life. Humane Tomorrow makes a lifetime commitment to its animals and the families who adopt them.

Humane Tomorrow focuses on keeping animals out of the shelter system as well as placing those in need of new homes. In addition to an adoption program, we offer spay and neuter assistance; character education for youth in our area; dedicated resources for people facing relinquishing pets over medical costs and pet deposits; and created the first successful ground transport program to get animals out of Texas (Love on Wheels) in 2013. Humane Tomorrow's network of volunteers and partners is ready to spring into action quickly in response to situations in which animals may be in danger. These can include seizure of animals from a hoarder or a natural event such as a hurricane or tornado.

Since its founding in 1997, Humane Tomorrow has found homes for over 12,000 animals. Our all-volunteer team celebrated the grand opening of the Glenn & Shirley Hulcher Family Animal Care Center in Argyle in 2020, which acts as an intake center between shelter and foster home for new animals to the program, as well as hosting community education and adoption events and providing emergency sheltering when needed due to natural disasters and large-scale animal rescues.

Our Needs

In December 2023, Humane Tomorrow lost a beautiful, dedicated, no-nonsense, hilarious, bigger-than-life member of our family. As she would have demanded, we have carried on the work she loved so much, always with her in our hearts.

Amy Stumvoll enriched our lives so much. From the moment we met her, we knew she was one of us. A wry sense of humor, a willingness to get dirty saving animals, seemingly unlimited patience with people and animals, very little need for sleep…she was the perfect Foster Coordinator.

During her years at Humane Tomorrow, Amy spent her time making life better for animals and the people who care for them. When we thought about what she’d want, it felt like she would want that work to continue. She’d want her people taken care of. She’d want the animals to be happy and comfortable while in our care.

Amy’s Fund continues her work in two ways:

It provides enrichment for animals rescued through our Rapid Responses, and helps offset the cost of caring for animals in our volunteer foster homes. 

• Animals typically stay at the Glenn & Shirley Hulcher Family Animal Care Center for 1-3 weeks during a Rapid Response, and during that time volunteers get them cleaned up, get them healthy, and begin building trust and showing them what it’s like to be treated well by humans, something many of them have never experienced before.  Providing enrichment during Rapid Responses is an important part of that process, and it can include anything from a bottle of spray cheese to leashes to walk dogs to quiet, comfortable places to sleep to play yard equipment.
• Amy’s Fund will help alleviate some of the wear and tear of fostering in the form of gift cards for:
  • Pet supply stores
  • Home improvement stores
  • Car wash and detailing
  • Gas stations
  • and whatever else the fosters need!
