Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area

The Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area strives to promote the humane treatment of animals and to foster respect, understanding, and compassion for all creatures.
PRIMARY GOAL
Through the ceaseless efforts of our professional staff, our primary goal is to awaken the true humanity and compassion of the citizens in our communities to the needs and rewards of caring for and respecting animals.
OBJECTIVES
•We provide care and safe harbor for animals afflicted by neglect, abandonment and abuse.
•We advocate proactive spay/neuter initiatives, community education, and second chance adoptions.
•Our shelter provides temporary loving care for impounded animals, adoptable animals, and animals displaced by or evacuated from natural disasters

The Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. We are not funded by the city, the county, or any national humane organizations. HSNBA holds contracts with the City of New Braunfels and Comal County to house stray animals brought in by their Animal Control Divisions. We also accept stray pets brought in by citizens and if space allows, pets whose owners can no longer care for them. Therefore, we are inundated daily with homeless pets and have no control over the number or type of animals that enter our shelter. We handle approximately 5,000 animals a year and at any given time care for approximately 100 cats and 100 dogs. The revenue we collect from our contracts covers approximately three days of care per animal and their intake vaccinations. If the animal stays longer, or needs any veterinary care, we rely on donations and adoption fees to cover those costs.
The pet overpopulation problem is real and while the bulk of the burden falls on the shoulders of the HSNBA, it is a community problem - a problem that the community and HSNBA can solve if we work together.


We can do it. You can help. Volunteer. Donate. Adopt.
