Low
Cost Spay / Neuter Vouchers
"The
Humane Society of Tom Green County offers low cost spay/neuter vouchers
once a month. These vouchers are offered on a first-come/first-serve
basis, and we do have a limited amount to offer. You may purchase
two per household per month. The cost of the vouchers are: $25/cat
and $35/dog. This is the total cost that you pay to have your pet
altered. Once you purchase the voucher from the Humane Society, you
then have 30 days to call and make an appointment with the participating
vet.
Please
visit our Calendar for exact
times and dates. Thank you, and thank you for spaying and neutering
your pet."
Pure Breed Rescue and Referral
The
Humane Society works with animal rescue organizations across the U.S.
to insure that every adoptable animal has a chance for a new life,
ranging from Weimeraner rescue in Dallas, TX to Dachshund rescue in
Kerrville, TX to Chow rescue in California. Our volunteers rescue
animals, contact the rescue organizations, and arrange for transport
to that facility. We are in constant need of transportation. If you
would like to help with rescue transport, please
Join Our Mailing List and sign up for Volunteer Information so
you can receive Transportation requests. Microchipping
All Humane Society of Tom Green County companion pets are microchipped
before being placed into an adoptive family. If you would like to
have your pet microchipped by HSTGC, please call 653-8056 to find
out when our next microchipping service will be offered. Please
visit our Microchipping page to
find out why you should microchip
your companion animals.
Free Flea & Tick Dips
The Humane Society offers free flea and tick dips during
the summer months. Check out our Calendar
for more details.
Second Chance Adoptions
Humane Society urges pet owners to first contact us concerning
their unwanted pets, rather than relinquish them directly to the
City Animal Shelter, where they will most likely be euthanized.
New homes are screened by us to find a perfect match while the owner
continues to care for the animal. This program is new, and all animals
accepted into the program must be spayed or neutered and current
on rabies vaccine. You can help this effort by letting people know
they need not destroy their pets, they deserve a second chance.
For more information and a Second Chance Adoption Contract, visit
our Adoption page.
Pet Memorials & Cremation Services
Your pet is important to you. You have loved them, and you
miss their presence in your life once they have passed. Express
your love and the reward of pet ownership through your pet memorial.
The HSTGC offers a professional, caring, and dignified pet cremation
service for pet owners. Classically styled urns and containers are
available with a certified letter of cremation. To fill out an application
for private cremation, please click here: Cremation
Brochure
Proceeds from the pet memorials and cremations program help fund
our life-saving projects to assist the companion animals of our
community.
Shelter Tours
Tours of the animal shelter may be arranged by appointment
for groups of all ages. Information about programs sponsored by
the Humane Society of Tom Green County is given during the tour.
Community Outreach
The Humane Society wants to make our community a better
place for people and animals. Promoting responsible pet ownership
and humane treatment of animals is something we practice every day.
We strongly promote the importance of spaying and neutering as well.
The HSTGC attends public events throughout the year to discuss animal
safety and pet ownership. We also speak at various group and club
events. Please call today to make an appointment for us to visit
your organization: 653-8056.
