Welcome to the Ranch! During May, ASPCA’s Adopt a Horse Month, HSNT placed four equines with wonderful adopters! Our first two adoptions this month were Shadow and JR, who were adopted together! When Shadow was posted online, we received an inquiry from a lovely couple who just had to meet him. Of course, Shadow won them over with his charming personality within minutes of meeting them. Then, in an unexpected turn of events, JR also made a lasting impression and deep connection with them. We want to wish Shadow,  JR, and their adopters happy trails. Next, Trouble found a home with a ver ..read more

HSNT’s Behavior team is supported by a dedicated contract behaviorist who works with 40 pets per week at our Hurst Pet Adoption Center. The training and enrichment provided are invaluable, improving each pet’s wellness and quality of life, and making them more adoptable, which shortens their stay at the shelter.  We have pending grant proposals that include partial funding for this training and enrichment, but our current funding will be depleted by the end of this month. To sustain this crucial work through the end of the year, we urgently need to secure $6,000 by the end of the month ..read more

If you’ve been to our main shelter location in Fort Worth, you may have seen a colorful new addition – our Behavior Training program’s Sensory Garden!

We are grateful to all who supported HSNT’s Rae of Hope (ROH) program through our solicitation in February. ROH is a vital resource to our senior community, and since January 1, 2024, HSNT has served nearly 700 North Texas pets through this service. The program helps ensure that vulnerable pets receive the preventative care they need and meet the requirements of many senior living facilities and apartment complexes so the pets can remain with their beloved owners. This last year, HSNT reinstated our offsite ROH clinics that were so popular pre-COVID, and we recently caught up with one family ..read more

Lily, a 3-year-old mixed breed was found by an HSNT employee and brought to the shelter for care as she appeared to be days away from delivering. Unfortunately, like many animals who enter our care, Lily had not been previously microchipped, and was put on “stray hold.” Our shelter staff administered vaccines, a microchip, and a heartworm test. They also did an x-ray of Lily’s abdomen, which confirmed she was pregnant with an estimated ten puppies. Lily (and her puppies) needed a foster home to go to, and quickly. After multiple calls, emails, and a social media post, we found a foster willin ..read more
