Humane Society of Uvalde

Established in 2006, HSU is a local non- profit tax exempt organization whose emphasis is on Spay/ Neuter assistance to our community and county in effort to decrease the volume of stray and homeless animals in this area. We distribute in excess of 50 S/N assistance vouchers per month from our Uvalde office as we continue to develop an educational outreach program in both public schools and professional venues, teaching the prudence and necessity of a Spay / Neuter mentality.

Although we have a distribution office for our Voucher Program, we do not house animals at this location. All of our pets are placed in foster care homes until they are adopted. More Information

In an effort to educate pet owners about the dangers of hot weather, our BEAT THE HEAT campaign has started. We are collecting large water bowls, continuous feeders/water systems, hoses & trolley systems.

Our goal is to help educate pet owners of the necessity of fresh, clean water being provided daily to dogs-and all outdoor animals-especially as the weather continues to get warmer.

We are also encouraging animal owners to make sure shade is accessible at all times of the day. Although dog houses are great for protection from rain and cold weather, they tend to trap heat and as such, are not a good escape from the sun and heat.

For pet owners who tie dogs up-we are hoping they will consider using a trolley so their pet has the ability to move around and find cooler areas as the sun moves throughout the day. Trolleys are an inexpensive way to allow a dog more freedom, better access to food/water and also decrease the likelihood of an animal becoming entangled or trapped by their chain. Wal-mart sells them in the pet aisle. Wal-mart, Tractor Supply & HEB carry continual water systems allowing the owner to fill the container every other day or as needed. We are also interested in the water containers that attach to the hose and refill themselves (this is our favorite and is at TS).

Our plan is to distribute supplies to pet owners who are in need of guidance in proper animal care and basic humane treatment of pets. The Uvalde Animal Control officers will be a primary source of information and distribution for us. We would also like to encourage the community to get involved by donating supplies. They can drop donations at our office located behind HEB during our office hours-Tues, Wed & Thurs from 10a-2p or at our monthly adoption drive which is the first Saturday of each month at the Uvalde Civic Center. We are also accepting credit card donations on our website via paypal. If you would like more information on this campaign, please contact us!
