About
Custom Tab
Coppell Humane Society was established in 1989 and continues to rescue dogs and cats all over Texas. In just the past 10 years, we have rescued and helped close to 1,500 animals find loving forever homes. We are a small organization with limited foster spaces, therefore we focus on the quality of our rescue efforts and not necessarily the quantity. While our goal is to place pets into suitable forever homes, our passion is to maximize their potential to thrive in the new home by providing thorough health care, a supportive family environment, and in-home socialization and training while still in our care.
Mission
Our mission is to serve homeless, needy companion cats and dogs in the Dallas- Ft. Worth metroplex and surrounding communities. We accomplish this through rescue, rehabilitation, and permanent placement in suitable homes; while striving to reduce their numbers through public education. Achievement of our mission depends on honoring, valuing, and supporting the efforts and contributions of our volunteers, donors and adopters.
Needs
Coppell Humane Society's greatest need each year is donations to help cover the cost of veterinary services for the dogs and cats in our care. Many rescue groups have to balance their desire to help every animal with fiscal responsibility to continue their mission. We strive to save any animal without hesitation of known or unknown medical issues and without worry of whether we have the funds to cover the costs. If an animal is hurting or ill, we want to move quickly and do what is needed to give them the best possible chance at a second chance.
Our basic medical for every animal in our program includes vaccines, treatment for external and internal parasites, spay/neuter and microchip. Dogs are tested for heartworms and cats are tested for feline leukemia and feline aids before they are adopted. Sometimes seemingly "healthy" animals later show signs of illnesses such as kennel cough, ringworm, upper respiratory, mange, etc. that must be taken care of before an animal may be adopted. We, also, have many experienced bottle baby and maternity foster homes. Newborns require special formula and needs.
We are not affiliated with nor do we receive financial support from the Humane Society of the United States - we are supported by our individual donors who graciously contribute to our mission. We do not operate out of a facility and depend on the love and talents of foster families to save animals. Foster homes on average can take in 1-2 animals (some more if litters of puppies or kittens). While animals are being raised, undergoing treatment, trained, etc. that foster home is unavailable for another animal to be saved. More foster homes means more spaces for a scared and lonely animal to go before finding their furever home.
