Overview
Mission
To provide humane shelter, care and placement for stray and unwanted animals, and to promote the human-animal bond and responsible pet ownership to enhance the quality of life for the people and animals in our community.
What it reported doing in 2024
The focus of Aggieland Humane Society (AgHS) is to save every healthy, adoptable pet taken into their care. Many pets are now taken in by reservation on a space available basis. Most euthanasia is reserved for sick, contagious, severely injured, wild and untreatable, and non-rehabilitatable animals.The agency works with local feline trap neuter release programs, has a barn cat adoption program, encourages spay/neuter community wide, transfers to rescue groups, manages some treatment and nurturing with a foster home program, has an active adoption program with marketing themes. The agency and its partners focus on pet retention and proactive redemptions including payment options and returns in the field by city and county officers. AgHS is the administrator for the Brazos County Pet licensing tag program which includes a ride to the vet for lost, injured tagged dogs and cats.Funds are collected to support medical rescue such as heartworm treatments and treatment of broken legs. The agency's mission and programs are supported with a weekly media presence in newspaper, on TV and multiple radio stations, websites, in magazines and on social media.The agency volunteer program has weekly orientations and has over 1,000 individual volunteers and over a dozen volunteer service projects on an annual basis. We are an active disaster relief partner in the Hurricane coastal evacuations and other disaster work involving animals.

- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
