Austin Humane Society

Unleash Hope

Founded in 1952, AHS is the longest-standing no-kill shelter in Austin, the largest no-kill city in the U.S. We provide life-saving programs that serve more than 11,000 animals every year. Our programs provide animals loving homes, prevent animal homelessness through spay and neuter, provide disaster-relief in times of natural and human-made crises, and engage and educate the community to be part of meaningful and sustainable solutions for animal welfare. We partner with hundreds of other shelters and rescue groups across the state of Texas and the United States to transfer animals from overcrowded conditions, and we work with our partners to help them develop infrastructure to meet the demand for animal care in their own communities.
