We recently received a call from one of our shelte

We recently received a call from one of our shelter partners about a dog, Sloan, that was left tied up outside their shelter and his microchip was traced originally back to Texas Humane Heroes. After not hearing back from Sloan's adopters, TXHH CEO quickly drove to pick him up and bring him back to a familiar and safe location. At only 8-months-old, Sloan was confused about what was happening, but he was happy to see shelter staff arrive. Once we made it back to TXHH Leander Adoption Center he was so cheerful and his tail was wagging in excitement to see recognizable faces.

Adopting an animal is fun and exciting, but please keep in mind that when you adopt, you are committing to the care of your animal for the rest of its life. Pets need yearly exams and vaccinations, training, daily care, and more. Puppies and kittens need extra care, guidance, and love as they continue to grow.

We do not know the circumstances of why Sloan was abandoned and we probably never will, but we are using this situation to educate future adopters about the impact and importance of committing to an animal for life. Sloan will be on Paw Pad and available for adoption very soon. Come out and visit if you are interested in giving Sloan a true forever home. .

Over 30 happy faces arrived today at TXHH Leander

Over 30 happy faces arrived today at TXHH Leander Adoption Center!!! Every animal has a different story and may have been exposed to multiple environments. This is why we have our 14-Day Promise Initiative! This gives adopters peace of mind when adopting a shelter pet and allows them to bring the animal back to TXHH for medical treatment, at no cost, if an animal becomes ill within 14 days of adoption. To learn more about our 14-Day Promise click here: HumaneHeroes.org/14DayPromise

*Adoptions are first-come, first-serve basis once the animal is available. We only accept holds in-person for adult animals only once they become available. .

MIGHTY Pups❤️ Battle Mites Texas Humane Heroe

MIGHTY Pups❤️ Battle Mites

Texas Humane Heroes rescued three very sick puppies from the Killeen area with severe mange, a skin disease caused by parasitic mites. This skin disease causes their fur to fall out and their skin is covered in sores and hardened scabs. It makes them extremely uncomfortable, itchy, and sickly. Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles are finally getting the care they need at Texas Humane Heroes. Specifically, these puppies have demodectic mange which is treatable with the right treatment and medical attention. The puppies had so many mites on just one skin analysis, our medical team was shocked. The pups require constant care, medication, and treatment and will be with TXHH for quite some time while they recover. TXHH Medical Director, Dr. K, and Manager of Animal Wellness, Victoria, are leading the Mighty Pup's recovery treatments and will be consulting with staff and fosters along this journey to heal and revive these sweet rescues.

This round-the-clock care is not possible without donations from our community. When shelters call us to save severe medical cases like the Mighty Pups❤️, we trust in our donor community to support our rescue mission. These puppies would not be here without YOU. Please consider making a gift to help these Mighty Pups recover: HumaneHeroes.org/Donate .
