Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area
www.HSNBA.org The Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. We can do it. Donate.

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. You can help. Volunteer. Adopt.

Thank you so much to Petco Love for having us at the Jump into Joy Adoption Event! 💜

Our Director of Community Engagement, Zac, had the opportunity to help Petco Love oversee cat care during the event and brought along 21 cats from HSNBA to find loving homes. We’re thrilled to share that 18 of those 21 cats were adopted during the event! 🎉

We also want to give a BIG thank you to Montgomery County Animal Shelter Texas for helping process adoptions for our cats and kittens and generously welcoming the three cats who didn’t find homes during the event into their care so they wouldn't have to make the long trip back to New Braunfels.

We’re so grateful to have been part of this wonderful event and to work alongside SO MANY organizations who share our passion for giving pets a Second Chance at a First Class Life! ❤️

Thankful Thursday! ❤️

On behalf of our staff, board, volunteers, and the pets in our care, we want to give a HUGE thank you to the Wurstfest Philanthropic Fund with the New Braunfels Community Foundation for an incredible $155,000 grant to support our work at HSNBA!

This generous gift will help fund a major project to improve the comfort and quality of life for the pets who depend on us in New Braunfels and Comal County. We can’t share all the details just yet, but something exciting is on the way, and our community will have an opportunity to help bring it to life! Thanks to this grant, we’re already taking big steps forward. 🐾

Thank you, Wurstfest, for recognizing the work our team does every day, believing in our mission, and helping us give pets a Second Chance at a First Class Life!

Stay tuned! We can’t wait to share what’s next. 💕

Foster Feature: Meet Addy! 🐾💕

Addy is one cool cat, and with her distinctive tabby stripes, gorgeous eyes, and a playful personality to boot, we know she’s going to make a wonderful cat for a loving home.

At around 25 weeks old, Addy has been with HSNBA since arriving as a tiny kitten in early July. She spent about 10 days in the shelter before heading to her loving foster home, where she's been growing, learning, and letting her personality shine ever since!

Addy loves wrestling with her kitty friends and has experience living with other young kittens and a small, calm dog. Her playful side sometimes includes trying to wrestle with hands, so her foster has been helping her learn that stuffed toys make much better wrestling buddies!

When it’s time to slow down, Addy becomes a little purr box who enjoys plenty of pets from her trusted people. She isn’t always interested in cuddling, but she has her own sweet way of enjoying your company. 💕

Addy needs a little time to adjust to new people and pets. A patient family who lets her settle in and build trust at her own pace will help her feel comfortable and ready to show off the personality her foster has come to love!

Addy is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Ready to meet your new best friend? Visit the link in our comments to submit an adoption form, and our team will connect you with her foster family!

Our Bonded Seniors Are Heading Home! ❤️

We are so excited to share that Artemis and HoneyBear have been adopted TOGETHER! These 12-year-old Golden Girls came to HSNBA after their beloved owner passed away, and earlier today, they found a new person to share their next chapter with.

One of our staff members said it best when seeing them all together for the first time: “It looks like they were always her dogs.” We couldn’t agree more!

Seeing these two settle right in as the perfect little family is everything we hoped for. Happy tails, Artemis and HoneyBear! We’re so happy you get to head home with a person to love you both. ❤️

Kennel Sponsor Shoutout! ♥️

Today we’re giving a BIG thank you to Trisha and Brian Box, who became kennel sponsors at the Furry Fundraiser in Vintage Oaks this past February!

In addition to their generous sponsorship, Trisha is a cherished supporter of HSNBA and one of our biggest cheerleaders. She truly helps us spread the word about our mission throughout the community! 🐾

Their sponsorship helps provide food, daily care, and a safe, comfortable place for the dogs who spend time in their sponsored kennel throughout the year. Each new resident is another pet whose journey to a loving home is made possible with support from people like the Box family!

Currently enjoying their sponsored kennel is Glogg, a one-year-old Siberian Husky who has been with HSNBA for 19 days. He would LOVE to meet his new family soon! Until then, the Box family’s generosity helps us give him the care and love he deserves. ❤️

Thank you, Trisha and Brian, for being part of so many second chances!

A big thank you also goes to FASTSIGNS in New Braunfels for generously providing our kennel sponsor signs at no cost! 💕

UPDATE: They have been adopted TOGETHER into a loving home! ❤️

Artemis and HoneyBear Have Spent a Lifetime Together. Let’s Make Their Next Chapter a Loving One. ❤️

At around 12 years old, these two Golden Girls should be spending their days resting on soft beds, enjoying belly rubs, and keeping their favorite person company. Instead, they’re starting over after losing their beloved owner.

Artemis and HoneyBear arrived at HSNBA as strays almost one month ago after their owner passed away. We tried to locate the person who had been caring for them, but despite our best efforts, no one came for them. Now, these longtime companions need a loving home where they can stay together and enjoy the comfort and care they deserve.

A recent foster stay gave us a chance to learn so much more about these girls, and they have plenty of love left to give! They also joined us at the Vintage Oaks Market and Adoption Event this past Sunday, where they did so well with all the sights, sounds, and people.

Both are gentle souls who enjoyed spending time with their foster’s five-year-old grandson. HoneyBear even got up from her comfy bed just to greet him! They also did well around other dogs during their foster stay and at the market. 🐾

Artemis, affectionately called Artie by her foster, is the more outgoing of the pair. She loves being close to her people, finding a spot beside you on the couch for snuggles and belly rubs, and greeting you when you come home. If you leave the room, don’t be surprised if she gets up to find you. She likes knowing where her people are, especially when there’s a chance for a little extra love!

HoneyBear is the quiet observer. She’s happiest watching the world from a cozy bed in the AC or enjoying a few minutes of fresh air outside. If the other dogs start barking, she might offer one little opinionated bark before getting back to relaxing. She appreciates a slower pace and a comfortable place to rest is high on her wish list for her next home.

Both girls walk nicely on a leash, but short strolls are more their speed. Artie has a little more distance in her than HoneyBear, but neither is looking for a hiking partner. A few tasty treats, gentle affection, and a cozy spot together sound like a pretty perfect day to them. ❤️

These girls have already lost their person. We want their next chapter to bring the security of a family who loves them both.

Because of their age and our limited resources to support elderly dogs in ongoing foster care, long-term foster placement isn't an option for Artemis and HoneyBear. They need a permanent adoptive home together, and they need it soon.

The noise, constant activity, unfamiliar faces, and hard kennel floors are taking a toll on them. At their age, comfort matters so much, and these girls deserve to spend their golden years feeling safe and settled.

Two best friends. One loving home. Could it be yours?

We had so much fun at the Vintage Oaks Market and Adoption Event this past Sunday! ♥️

With over 75 vendors, there was something for everyone! Our adoptable dogs enjoyed meeting new people, soaking up attention, and making connections that we hope will lead to loving homes!

Our outreach volunteers stayed busy, too, sharing information about fostering and volunteering at HSNBA and handing out fun giveaways, including pet care coloring books and prizes for pets. We love opportunities like this to connect with people who want to help pets in our community!

Thanks to the generosity of the event organizers and the amazing vendors who participated, HSNBA also received over $3,000 in market vendor fees, plus more than $800 in donations during the event to support the pets in our care!

A BIG thank you to our volunteer Karen Kennedy for all the time, heart, and hard work she put into making this event possible! From planning and coordinating with vendors to keeping everything running smoothly, Karen helped make it a wonderful day for everyone involved. Her continued dedication to HSNBA and the pets in our care is inspiring, and we are so grateful to have her on our team! ♥️

We also want to say a special thank you to Joel Kennedy and Cheryl Tracy for working so hard during the event, as they always do at these markets! We appreciate everyone who helped bring this wonderful day together. We are so grateful for the people who show up for HSNBA and our pets! 🐾

Thank you, Vintage Oaks, for welcoming us into your neighborhood once again. We can’t wait to come back! ♥️

Foster Feature: Finn Is Ready to FALL in Love with YOU! 🍂🐾

Finn first arrived at HSNBA as a stray in early March, and less than a month later, he headed home with one of our most dedicated and experienced foster families. He’s had a loving place to land while he waits, but all these months later, Finn is still looking for a family to call his own! 💕

His foster family has had plenty of time to get to know him, and here is what they had to say:

“Finn was brought into HSNBA heartworm-ridden, covered in flea dirt, and terrified of the world. 200 days later, the heartworms are gone, and his confidence has improved, but he’s still searching for his loving family.

Finn has been in foster with my family since mid-March and we have nothing but incredible things to say about this boy. He is dog friendly, cat friendly, fully house trained, a huge toy lover, and the ultimate snuggle buddy.

Finn was briefly adopted by a family with younger kiddos, but he unfortunately wasn’t adapting well to the busier lifestyle and had issues adjusting to the littles. While we may not recommend him for a home with younger children, we know he does great with kids 12 and up.

As I mentioned, Finn is very dog friendly and matches energies very well. That said, he’s a big couch potato and can get frustrated when super high-energy dogs continue to pursue him once he’s in rest mode. A neutral, or calmer dog may be the best companion for our sweet boy - though he does love to rough house and play tug with his friends!

Don’t have any other pets? No problem! Finn is a big velco dog and loves his humans so deeply that he would be great as an only pet. On that note, he is very protective of his home and his family; while he’s great with new people coming into the home, he does tend to bark at the door, windows, or fences when people pass by.

Due to his tough past, Finn can take awhile to adjust to new environments. It’s CRUCIAL that his new family provides ample time to let him settle in. It can take up to three months for a dog to fully adjust to a new home and Finn needs a family who not only understands that, but gives him the time and support he needs during the transition.”

They always have something fun going on, so be sure to head over to their page and give them a follow!

Thank you to Trail Team 6, their members, and everyone who donated for turning a little Halloween fun into a whole lot of kindness for the pets in our care! 🎃❤️
