Who We Are
For more than 40 years, Humane Society of Dallas County (HSDC)-formerly known as Dog & Kitty City—has been a safe haven for homeless pets. With a no-kill philosophy at our core, every animal who enters our care has a home with us for as long as it takes to find their forever family. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely entirely on the generosity of individuals and businesses like you to continue this lifesaving work.
Unlike many assume, HSDC is not affiliated with any national or government agency, nor do we receive city, state, or federal funding. Every single gift comes directly from our community and 100% of those dollars stay right here in Dallas, saving local dogs and cats in need.

Our mission is to promote adoption and provide a safe, healthy and compassionate environment for the cats and dogs of Dallas County for as long as needed.
Sustaining our no-kill policy comes with its challenges. From medical care and nutritious food to comfortable shelter and loving attention, the cost of caring for our furry residents adds up quickly. Your donation, no matter the size, can make a world of difference. Here's how your contribution can help:
$25: Provides a week's worth of high-quality food for one animal.
$50: Covers the cost of essential vaccinations for a newly arrived animal.
$100: Supports the spaying or neutering of a cat or dog, helping to control the pet population and reduce the number of homeless animals.
$250: Update our walls with cat enrichment in one cat room.
$450: Host puppies at your fall event with a $450 donation (great for socializing and getting them comfortable with human interaction)*
$500: Sponsor a cat kennel for the year.
