Meet Choco: The Energizer Bunny with Eyes of Ice and our CBS News Texas Pet of the Week!

This one-year-old dynamo is ready to zoom into your heart! Choco is a whirlwind of energy and cuteness, always eager for a game of fetch (did someone say tennis ball marathon?!) or a brisk walk that will leave you breathless.

But wait, there's more! Choco boasts a pair of captivating blue eyes that will melt your heart. They twinkle with mischief and sparkle with joy, making him even more irresistible.

Choco is a quick study and will learn your commands faster than you can say "treat!" He's a bit of a goofball, but his charm is undeniable. He's looking for an active family who can keep up with his boundless energy and shower him with love.

Note: Choco may occasionally try to "help" with cooking by licking the spoon (don't worry, he's harmless!). He also snores like a tiny engine.

Ready to welcome this bundle of joy with those mesmerizing blue eyes into your life? Visit Choco at our Keller Regional Adoption Center today! Learn more on our website at hsnt.org.

Gertrude. The cat with ultimate sass.

If you’re looking for a friend with peak senior rabble-rousing energy, Gertrude is the girl for you. Gertrude acts tough but the secret is she only has one tooth in her whole head. She is fully ready to commit crimes but also always has a hard candy in the bottom of her purse as a little treat. She would love to purr in your lap while you yell at the kids to get off your dang lawn.

Gertrude comes complete with her distinguished old lady sweater and biscuit-making action.

If you’ve ever visited the HSNT Clinic, chances are you’ve met Oscar Lee Turner Jr. —and if you’ve met Oscar, you know what a treasure he is.

For over 20 years, Oscar has brought his dedication, loyalty, and heart to every corner of HSNT as a volunteer. From working across multiple departments to now being the warm, familiar face of our clinic, Oscar embodies everything we stand for: compassion, connection, and community.

He’s a little spicy, super sweet, and truly one of a kind. Known for his incredible ability to connect with the senior citizens we serve, Oscar makes every person and pet feel cared for and valued. His commitment has touched countless lives, and we’re endlessly grateful to have him as part of the team.

From all of us at HSNT and the community who adores you—thank you, Oscar, for 20 amazing years of service. You’ve made a difference in ways words can hardly capture, and we’re so proud to have you on our team. Oscar is more than a volunteer; he's family. Here’s to you! ❤️🐾

As we bid farewell to 2024, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an extraordinary year filled with hope, healing, and new beginnings for countless pets. None of this would have been possible without YOU—our adopters, volunteers, donors, fosters, and supporters who bring our mission to life every day.

Thanks to your unwavering dedication, so many paws & hooves found their way to loving homes, so many hearts were touched, and so many lives were transformed. While we celebrate these milestones, we know the journey isn’t over.

In 2025, we’re committed to doing more—serving more seniors citizens, supporting our community, increasing adoptions, welcoming more volunteers, empowering more foster heroes, and saving even more lives. Together, we can make this year our most impactful yet and continue creating brighter futures for pets and their people.

Thank you for being the heart of everything we do. Here’s to the incredible strides we’ve made and the brighter futures we’ll create together in the year ahead.

You may have heard the heartbreaking story of the Trashcan Puppies right here in Fort Worth—eight tiny souls found dumped in a garbage can on New Year's Day.

These three sweet pups, Dublin, O'Mally, and Paddy, are ready to find their forever homes!

Come meet them at our Puppypalooza Adoption Event this Wednesday, January 8th, at PetSmart Montgomery Plaza from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. You’ll also meet other incredible puppies looking for their perfect families (HSNT is bursting at the seams with puppies!).

Sarah and Mia are enjoying the sunshine on this cold day! 💕☀️

These two beauties are seeking their forever homes as companion horses and are absolutely darling!

They both arrived at the ranch in need of care and time to build trust with people after not being handled for many years. They have thrived in our groundwork foundation program and are now two pocket ponies that follow you wherever you go 🥰

You can find more information about these two gorgeous registered Quarter Horses on our website at https://www.hsnt.org/equine-and-livestock

To all the wonderful humans who’ve opened their hearts and homes this past weekend at our PetSmart adoption event to a furry friend—THANK YOU! 💖🐶🐱

Whether you’ve adopted a wagging tail, a purring buddy, or a little ball of energy, you’ve given a second chance at happiness to a pet in need. 🏡✨

Meet our fox4news Pet of the Week!

Ralph—a 4-year-old dog with an incredible story of resilience and hope.

Ralph came to us as part of a cruelty case, arriving at the shelter severely underweight and in desperate need of care. Thanks to the compassion and dedication of our team, Ralph has made an amazing transformation, putting on healthy weight and blossoming into a loving, playful companion.

Ralph is a people-lover through and through—he’s never met a person he didn’t like! Whether it’s going for walks (he’s a pro on the leash) or playing with toys (fetch is his favorite, though he’s still perfecting the “bring it back” part), Ralph’s joyful personality shines through.

While Ralph is still building his confidence around other dogs, he’s making great progress with our team’s support. He’s highly food-motivated, knows how to sit, and is eager to learn more. However, Ralph’s playful nature can sometimes get the best of him, so we recommend a cat-free home for this lively boy.

One thing’s for sure: Ralph craves human connection. His kennel anxiety speaks to how much he wants to be with his people, making him the perfect fit for a family ready to shower him with the love and attention he deserves.

He can be found at our Keller Regional Adoption Center!

The Fort Worth Trashcan Puppies: A Story of Survival and Compassion

‼️On New Year’s Day, while most of us were easing into the new year, one of our most dedicated volunteers, Matt, was out walking his dog, Dublin, in Crestwood Park, right here in Fort Worth. What started as a peaceful morning quickly turned into a lifesaving mission.

Matt heard faint whimpers coming from a garbage can. When he looked inside, he was horrified to find eight tiny puppies—abandoned, freezing, and scared. With no food, water, or warmth, their survival was uncertain. Alone in the park, Matt carefully carried them back to his home in shifts, determined to save them all.

Thanks to his quick thinking and compassion, the puppies are now safe and receiving the medical care they need. If all goes well, they’ll be ready for adoption next week, but their journey to recovery isn’t over yet.

Your donations ensure we can act without hesitation to save lives like these eight puppies.

Matt has volunteered an incredible 1,300 hours with us over the past year, and now he’s stepping up once more. He’s generously offered to match every donation up to $1,300—a dollar for every hour he’s given to help pets in need.

Your donation will honor his dedication and ensure we can continue saving lives like these eight puppies, who wouldn’t have survived without someone who cared.

➡️hsnt.org/donate

These puppies can’t speak for themselves, but if they could, they’d tell you that volunteering changes lives. Help us turn their heartbreaking beginning into a hopeful future. Donate today and make twice the impact!

Wings of Rescue has officially committed to overcrowded Texas shelters to their flight schedule, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with them on their incredible lifesaving mission. Their work perfectly aligns with our motto—Pets and People, Saving Each Other®.

This past week, Wings of Rescue transported nearly 90 pets, including many large dogs and cats. Larger dogs often face longer stays in shelters, making this transport a significant milestone in giving them a second chance at finding loving homes.

To our dedicated staff, amazing volunteers, supportive community, and the incredible team at Wings of Rescue—thank you for your unwavering commitment to saving lives.

Here’s to many more lifesaving flights from Texas to northern states, where open kennels and fewer overpopulation challenges await our shelter pets. Together, we’re making a difference!

Introducing our NBC DFW Pet of the Week!

Meet Zeus, the King of Chaos!
Are you ready for a furry friend & slobber monster who will bring laughter, excitement, and possibly a few gray hairs into your life? Look no further than Zeus, our lovable 11-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer mix!

This energetic bundle of joy is still a puppy at heart, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a wagging tail that never stops. Zeus loves to play, snuggle, and get into all sorts of trouble – so if you’re looking for a low-key, couch-potato companion, Zeus might not be the pup for you!

However, if you’re up for an adventure buddy who will join you on hikes, play fetch until the sun goes down, and snuggle up beside you on the couch, Zeus is your guy! He’s smart, loyal, and loving, with a heart of gold and a coat that’s almost as handsome as his personality.

So if you’re ready to add a little chaos and a whole lot of love to your life, come meet Zeus at our PetSmart Lake Worth Adoption Event today from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.! He can’t wait to find his forever family and start his next adventure.

Introducing our CBS News Texas Pet of the Week!

Meet Kringle, the Pekingese Mix with a Heart of Gold and a bad attitude - this little furball got sass for days. Are you ready for a furry friend who'll be your new BFF, but also won't hesitate to give you the stink-eye when you're hogging the snacks? Look no further than Kringle, the two-year-old Pekingese mix with a personality that's equal parts cuddly and crazy.

This little guy's like a fine wine - independent, complex, and only gets better with time. When Kringle's not busy being adorable, he's probably off doing his own thing, because, let's be real, he's a bit of a rebel without a cause. But don't worry, he'll always come back to you - after all, someone's got to worship him, give him yummy treats, and cater to his every whim, and it might as well be you.

So if you're ready for a loyal companion who'll keep you on your toes, Kringle's your guy. Just don't forget the treats, or you'll be sleeping on the couch. Visit him at our PetSmart South Arlington Adoption Event today from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Learn more on our website at hsnt.org.
