Unlike other nonprofit animal welfare organizations, Houston Humane Society receives no federal, state or local government funding, relying solely on donations, program services and special events to fund our life-saving work.
In addition to funding the shelter's programs and services, donations also play a critical role in our onsite veterinary clinic, which provides low cost, full service veterinary care to the general public. Providing these essential veterinary services at a price that low income families can afford is a critical step in keeping pets healthy and happy in their homes, and we continue to serve approx. 30,000 households a year through the clinic.
