Puppy Mill Awareness Day: Let’s Work Together to End the Cruelty

Fall is finally upon us (even if it still feels like summer here in Texas), and September is another month full of pet-centric holidays. There is one holiday that Texas Humane Heroes feels particularly strong about, and that is…

Hero Town brings adoptable dogs and cats to locations in the community!

Find Hero Town at PetSmart at 1890 Ranch and the 35/45 Petsmart location every Friday through Sunday. We also have cats housed every day at PetSmart 1890 Ranch (1335 E. Whitestone Blvd) and Round Rock (2601 S IH35).

Here at Texas Humane Heroes, every effort is made to place animals in good homes with responsible pet owners who are willing to make a lifelong commitment to the animal. TXHH believes pet ownership is a privilege, not a right. Potential pet owners are counseled about the responsibilities of pet ownership before adoption. Because the key to reducing the number of unwanted animals is pet population control, each animal is spayed/neutered before adoption.

Adult Dogs – $120 (7 months & older)

Puppies – $175
