It doesn't take a cape to be a hero - Just Love

Texas Humane Heroes is a No Kill, private, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization with dog and cat adoption centers in Leander (Greater Austin Metropolitan area) and Killeen, Texas. Established in 1979, Texas Humane Heroes enhances the lives of pets and people through adoption, availability of our low-cost spay/neuter and vaccinations as well as family-friendly community events. We are 100% funded by donations, grants, and modest fees for services. Texas Humane Heroes does not receive any local, state, or federal government funding.

There is so much work that goes into keeping a shelter up and running. We rely heavily on our volunteers and fosters to work alongside our staff every day to accomplish all that needs to be done. The more help we get from volunteers and fosters, the more we are able to save the lives of animals. Volunteers are essential to providing animals the best life possible while they are with us.

To register as a volunteer or foster, please click the link below. All volunteers and fosters must register AND submit the one-time $25 registration payment in order to become a volunteer with our organization. The one-time $25 registration fee covers the cost of your volunteer t-shirt along with your mandatory orientation class. This fee must be paid upon registering as a volunteer. If you are signing up just to foster, you do not need to sign up for a volunteer orientation.

*Please Note: We ask that you submit a registration form and a $25 fee for each individual. Each individual must attend both Orientation and the follow-up training session.
