Until further notice, the Wildlife Center is physically closed for operations. We are currently moving to 14700 Almeda Rd., Houston, TX 77053. In anticipation of our move, we are not accepting wildlife or any domestic animals.

Houston Humane Society Hours of Operation

---

We receive no federal, state, or local government funding and we rely solely on donations, program services, and special events in our local community.  HHS is committed to raising awareness of animal welfare throughout the Houston community by providing numerous programs for Houston-area residents and their pets. Our work includes pet adoptions, humane education, animal crimes investigations, pet surgery, cat and dog vaccinations, spay and neuter services, and more. We take pride in being Houston's best high-volume, low-cost veterinary clinic. For any other questions regarding our emergency and preventive veterinary services, we welcome you to contact us or visit our walk-in animal clinic today!

 

As unfathomable as it sounds, animal cruelty is a very prevalent issue in our community. With your help we can reduce animal suffering throughout the Houston area. Adoption, volunteering, education, participating in our special events, or making a donation to help support our programs, are all ways you can help HHS make a difference in the lives of abused, homeless, and neglected animals.

 

On our website you will find information on all of our wonderful programs, tips, and other resources to help you and your pet live a long and healthy life together!
