HSOET Needs Your Help to Buy New Kennels

HSOET Needs Your Help to Buy New Kennels

Dear Animal Lover,
The future has never been brighter for the homeless animals of East Texas. The Humane Society of East Texas is now a selective admission, no-kill animal sanctuary, and they are proud to claim that every animal under their care is safe from the threat of euthanasia for as long as it takes to find them an adoptive home. The focus now is to save lives and provide quality adoptions for these animals.

We need your help in funding a new twenty-run outdoor kennel complex for their large breed dogs. The current facility is in irreparable shape. Once the new kennel is constructed, the current pens will be replaced with a landscaped park area.

View New Kennels Brochure - including Special Tributes options.

Here prospective new owners can spend some time with their potential new pet. The HSOET receives no city or county funding and relies solely on private donations and fund raising events to raise the money needed to care for the animals and support their programs. All funds raised through this effort will go directly toward the $156,000 cost for the new kennel and park area. This is your opportunity to help these unfortunate animals become someone�s pet! You also will have an opportunity to remember or honor a loved one or a beloved pet with a tax deductible contribution. The enclosed sheet details the naming opportunities and gift levels at the facility. We encourage you to visit the HSOET and see the incredible need for the upgrades to the facility.

Thank you, in advance, for your support.

Remember, The Humane Society of East Texas is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit animal welfare organization and your contributions are tax deductible. For more information, contact Gayle Helms, Executive Director at 903 597-2471.

HSOET makes the moral decision to no longer euthanize animals and to become a �selective admissions, no-kill animal sanctuary�.

HSOET makes the moral decision to no longer euthanize animals and to become a �selective admissions, no-kill animal sanctuary�.

In 2008, the Humane Society changed its name to the Humane Society of East Texas and made the moral decision to no longer euthanize animals and to become a �selective admissions, no-kill animal sanctuary�.

From 1969 until 2008, the Humane Society provided housing for animals picked up by Animal Control officers in both the City of Tyler and Smith County as well as surrounding smaller towns. During those years, our small animal shelter received approximately 376,000 dogs and cats to care for and ultimately adopt or humanely euthanize. To date, approximately 69,000 animals have been placed in caring homes. By early 2008, the Humane Society of East Texas terminated their contract with both the City of Tyler and Smith County Animal Control and became what our community has wanted us to be. Our focus now is to save lives, not take lives and to find loving, forever homes for these homeless animals.

Cold Weather Tips for your Pets

Cold Weather Tips for your Pets

Help your pets remain happy and healthy during the colder months

Don't leave dogs outdoors when the temperature drops. Most dogs, and all cats, are safer indoors, except when taken out for exercise. Regardless of the season, shorthaired, very young, or old dogs and all cats should never be left outside without supervision. Short-coated dogs may feel more comfortable wearing a sweater during walks.

No matter what the temperature, wind chill can threaten a pet's life. A dog or cat is happiest and healthiest when kept indoors. If your dog is an outdoor dog, however, he/she must be protected by a dry, draft-free doghouse that is large enough to allow the dog to sit and lie down comfortably, but small enough to hold in his/her body heat. The floor should be raised a few inches off the ground and covered with cedar shavings or hay. The house should be turned to face away from the wind, and the doorway should be covered with waterproof burlap or heavy plastic.

Pets that spend a lot of time outdoors need more food in the winter because keeping warm depletes energy. Routinely check your pet's water dish to make certain the water is fresh and unfrozen. Use plastic food and water bowls rather than metal; when the temperature is low, your pet's tongue can stick and freeze to metal.

Warm engines in parked cars attract cats and small wildlife, which may crawl up under the hood. To avoid injuring any hidden animals, bang on your car's hood to scare them away before starting your engine.

Antifreeze is a deadly poison, but it has a sweet taste that may attract animals and children. Wipe up spills and store antifreeze (and all household chemicals) out of reach. Better yet, use antifreeze-coolant made with propylene glycol; if swallowed in small amounts, it will not hurt pets, wildlife, or your family.

Probably the best prescription for winter's woes is to keep your dog or cat inside with you and your family. The happiest dogs are those who are taken out frequently for walks and exercise but kept inside the rest of the time. Dogs and cats are social animals who crave human companionship. Your animal companions deserve to live indoors with you and your family.
