Our History

Our Mission The Humane Society is dedicated to placing as many animals as possible in quality homes.
	The Humane Society of Kerrville was founded by nine ladies in 1985 who each put in $100 to help stray and injured animals. In 1989, they rented an old vet clinic (our prior shelter across from Wal-Mart on Junction Hwy) to house animals and provide grooming and boarding.  One of the charter members later purchased the building and allowed the Humane Society to use it until her death, when it was left to the Humane Society.

In 1997, the Humane Society opened a resale shop to provide additional income for the Society. In 2002, through the generosity of the Kathleen C. Cailloux Family Trust and the Cailloux Family, the Society moved into new quarters at 2900 Junction Hwy in Kerrville. On the premises we continue to operate a Resale Shop which is now housed in the prior Raleigh House Restaurant.  The Resale Shop is run by volunteers.  We have built a two-building shelter behind the Resale Shop.  One of the shelter buildings houses our adoptable dogs, the other the office, grooming facility (50% of fees go to support the Shelter), and our adoptable cats.

Our Shelter is a no-kill facility, so many times we are full and cannot accept new animals.  We hope this website will help you in finding your next faithful companion or in finding a new home for your animal.
 

	The Humane Society of Kerrville is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization and all contributions are tax deductible.  Support for the Humane Society comes from membership dues, memorials, contributions, bequests, grants, and fund raisers.
