Embracing Every Pawprint
Our work embodies our belief in a home for every heart.
40 Years of Caring
Humane Society’s Dedication to Animals
From humble beginnings, HSDC has grown from a home-based cat rescue to a dog and cat shelter that has served the community of Dallas County for over 40 years.
Lifelong Homes
Dog & Kitty City’s No-Kill Promise
A true belief in no-kill, we are committed to providing care and shelter for as long as an animal needs to find their forever home. We foster a respect for all life by providing shelter, love and medical care for all of our animals until they find a loving home.
Responsible Pet Care
Ensuring Health and Happiness for Every Animal
We spay or neuter all of our animals before adoption to help decrease animal overpopulation.
All cats are tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV and dogs for heartworm. All necessary vaccinations, medications and heartworm preventatives are given as required.
Rescue, Care, and Compassion
Our Comprehensive Animal Welfare Mission
Our mission is to promote adoption and provide a safe, healthy and compassionate environment for the cats and dogs of Dallas County for as long as needed.
