Karnes County Humane Organization

Karnes County Humane Organization KCHO coordinates Rescue transport & medical care for abandoned dogs in Karnes County Animal Control facilities. Fostering & Adoption available.

The Karnes County Humane Organization serves Karnes County, Texas from our facility in Kenedy, a small town 60 miles southeast of San Antonio. Through the efforts and hard work of KCHO volunteers, abandoned and abused dogs & cats are brought to the attention of rescue groups or adoptive homes through our website, www.KarnesCountyHumane.org and this page. KCHO is not a shelter facility, bu

t works to place dogs & cats in safe rescues and shelters. We have enjoyed great success in our outreach. Before the creation of KCHO, the rural town shelter had no resources, and the live release rate was typically 5% out of 275 dogs per year. Standard hold time is 72 hours. The live release rate has now increased to 99%! RELEASE TO RESCUE GROUPS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED. The Karnes County Humane Organization provides each homeless pet with medical care that includes vaccinations, spaying/neutering and heartworm testing at no cost to the rescue. In most instances we are available to assist with transport! Rescue Groups, Potential Foster "Parents" and those wanting to Adopt, please call Rhonda Sheeran (830) 299-1716 for information.
