KCHO coordinates Rescue transport & medical care for abandoned dogs in Karnes County Animal Control facilities. Fostering & Adoption available.






It is the mission of the Karnes County Humane Organization to place abandoned and abused dogs & cats in safe rescues and shelters.

Kenedy is a small town, 60 miles southeast of San Antonio, Texas. The abandoned and abused dogs & cats are brought to the attention of rescue groups or adoptive homes through our website, www.KarnesCountyHumane.org and this Facebook page. KCHO is not a shelter facility, but works to place dogs & cats in safe rescues and shelters. We have enjoyed great success in our outreach. Before the creation of the KCHO, the rural town shelter had no resources, and the live release rate was typically 5% out of 275 dogs per year. Standard hold time is 72 hours. The live release rate has now increased to 91%!

RELEASE TO RESCUE GROUPS IS DESPERATELY NEEDED. The Karnes County Humane Organization provides each homeless pet medical care that includes vaccinations, spaying/neutering and heartworm testing at no cost to the rescue. In most instances we are available to assist with transport! Rescue Groups, Potential Foster "Parents" and those wanting to Adopt, please call Rhonda Sheeran (830) 299-1716 for information.
