Pets Fur People

Pets Fur People We have saved over 90,000 pets in 56 years. We rely 100% on donations to do our work. Pets Fur People is the oldest No-Kill shelter in East Texas.

Every animal in our care is safe from euthanasia for as long as it takes us to find them a home. We believe that every dog and cat in our community should have the life it deserves - a warm bed, a full belly, a well cared for body and a loving home.

Make sure your fur babies are ready for cold weather, keep them safe and warm🐾❤️

Bill and Rio’s road trip!

We weren't sure how Bascom and Bella would get along so Bill McFarlin took them for a long walk down the road. They started out on either side of him, a ittle "iffy," and returned walking side by side like old friends! Pets Fur People is so fortunate to have an Operations Manager who just happens to be a professional dog trainer!

Gayle is turning the page to the next chapter! But she'll never really be retired, right? She promises to still stop by and get some puppy kisses! Congratulations Gayle on your retirement!

Our Story

At The Humane Society's Pets Fur People, we provide an animal sanctuary for cats and dogs while helping them find their forever families.

Over the last 50 years, we have saved thousands of animals through facilitating pet adoptions and teaching responsible pet ownership at our no-kill pet shelter in Tyler, Texas. As a selective admission, life-sustaining animal shelter in Tyler, Texas, our mission is to provide a temporary haven for cats and dogs while helping them find the right home. By committing to these animals and connecting them with caring, loving families, we hope to reduce and ultimately eliminate the practice of euthanasia as an acceptable method of population control.

For more information about our animal shelter and how you can help out through adoptions and donations, please contact us today.
