Our New TXHH Animal Care & Adoption Center
It’s been a long journey, but our new, state-of-the-art Leander Adoption Center and Low-Cost Vet Clinic are officially open! It’s located at the same address, but instead of being located down the lane at the end of the property, the building is conveniently located just off Crystal Falls Pkwy.
Construction began with a groundbreaking ceremony way back in October of 2022, with construction actually starting a few months later. At 4,000 square feet, this facility will not only benefit the animals in our care, but will greatly increase the number of animals we’ll be able to save. We now have the capacity to care for three times the number of cats, while our low-cost clinic is now ten times the size, meaning we’ll be able to provide more spay, neuter, and low-cost vaccinations for the community.
In addition, this new building will better utilize the 22 acres of land that our Leander Adoption Center already sits on. Instead of a converted house tucked in the back of the lot, our new building will sit right off Crystal Falls Pkwy in Leander, giving us increased visibility and convenience.
The concrete for our new foundation and parking lot was poured almost a year ago back in December, marking a major milestone in this project. By February, things really started to take shape – literally! Steel supports for the wall and roof had gone up and are being welded together. Now, after several additional months of work, it’s open to the public!
Obviously, your support remains crucial at this time, and helps ensure our ability to fulfill our mission to rescue homeless pets from overcrowded shelters across Texas for decades to come!

Saving More Dogs
Currently, Texas Humane Heroes can currently house 45 healthy dogs. With Phase II of our new facility, we will be able to house up to 136 healthy dogs, and each kennel will have indoor/outdoor space to greatly increase quality of life.
Project Phases
While we’ve completed Phase 1, Phase II is right around the corner! Contact at giving@txhh.org to find out how you can help us reach our goal!
Phase I- COMPLETED

Phase II- Projected Completion Date TBD
- Dog Pods
Our old clinic was only 350 square feet and had to accommodate all animal operations, including up to 40 spay and neuter surgeries a day. The new facility is more than 10X the size, with a 4,000 square foot clinic, meaning TXHH will be able to provide even more medical care for our pets, our shelter partners, and the public!
Previously, sick and high medical needs animals were housed with recent intakes. This made the spread of disease more difficult to contain. The new facility will include a specific quarantine area for animals that are contagious and a risk to healthy animals.
