Bring your family and friends to be a part of a very exciting milestone moment in Kaufman County. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 5, 2022, as we celebrate the Grand Opening/Open House of the Kaufman County Pet Adoption Center. The ceremony will begin at 11:30 a.m. and will include the official Ribbon Cutting and then continue with an Open House and tours until 1 p.m.
This 12,000 square foot state-of-the-art Pet Adoption Center was approved as part of the 2019 Bond Election and will be managed and operated by the Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT). The ceremony will include participation from high school students from all over Kaufman County, with some special surprises!
“The people of Kaufman County have done a great thing by supporting the creation of this Pet Adoption Center,” said County Judge Hal Richards. “Consider what we have put in place: A state of the art building, a great operating partnership with the Humane Society of North Texas, and an already enthusiastic and growing team of volunteers. All these things coming together means we will have the best shelter and adoption center in Texas. This will be a happy place where Pets and People Save each other.”
You will be witness to the first very special pet adoptions at the new facility during the ceremony. As you enjoy light refreshments provided by the Kaufman High School culinary class and tours of the new facility, there will be an opportunity to meet the staff of the facility operators. You will be able to sign up on location to be a volunteer for the Pet Adoption Center through the HSNT, and you will also be able to sign up on the spot as a foster family for pets, or just meet the pets already calling the Center their temporary home. Who knows, you might just meet your future best (four legged) friend and start your own adoption process!
“The Humane Society of North Texas is honored to manage the new Kaufman County Pet Adoption Center and we look forward to partnering with the County to save the lives of thousands of homeless pets each year,” said Susan Gulig, Humane Society of North Texas, President. “We’re excited to work with local school districts in promoting photography and videography to interested students. The entire Kaufman County community can help in our lifesaving mission through volunteering, fostering, and donating time and resources.”
Please plan on joining us as we open the doors to this much-anticipated facility that is, as the Humane Society of North Texas boasts, “Pets and People Saving Each Other TM!”
SPECIAL NOTE: Please also bring a new, unwrapped stuffed animal or Teddy bear to donate to the Kaufman County Child Welfare Board’s Rainbow Room. These stuffed animals will be used for children going to the Adoption Court as they celebrate their new homes and families. There will be a donation box at the event to accommodate the stuffed animals.
