The Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT) is here to help each family work through the best options for their pet(s), including rehoming and surrendering. Below are the most common recommended steps. If you need to surrender a farm animal such as a horse, goat, pig, chicken, etc., please visit our Equine Resources & Livestock Resources pages to view all available options. If you have further questions, please contact our Equine & Livestock Department at 817.891.6203 or email equine@hsnt.org.

Please call 817.332.HSNT (4768) ext 106 or email our Fort Worth Animal Resource Center.​​ Please understand that surrenders are by appointment only. We do not take same-day, walk-up surrenders. At the time of surrendering your pet, there will be a surrender fee. Small dogs and adult cats 6 months and older are $50 to surrender Large dogs 6 months and older are $100 to surrender Puppies/kittens under 6 months are $20 each to surrender.
