risco Humane Society (FHS) is an all-volunteer, all-foster, homebased, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, no-kill animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless, abused or unwanted animals. FHS provides temporary foster care and medical attention for homeless animals until permanent homes can be found. FHS strives to provide caring, responsible homes for these animals while reducing animal overpopulation through spay or neutering. The operation of this organization is funded primarily by adoption fees, public donations, and fundraising efforts. Earlier this year, the FHS achieved a milestone of 10,000 adopted dogs and cats since the organization's inception in 2001. On 3/1/22, Frisco's Mayor Cheney issued a proclamation in recognition of this achievement, declaring March 1st as Frisco Humane Society Day. FHS programs include:
• Animal Rescue, Fostering, and Adoptions
FHS primarily rescues animals from local municipal animal shelters that are in jeopardy of being euthanized. FHS provides temporary foster care and medical attention for homeless animals until permanent homes can be found. The rescue services include all necessary medical care prior to adoption for each animal (rabies and viral vaccinations, deworming, flea and tick preventative, canine heartworm test/feline leukemia and FIV test, heartworm treatment if necessary, spay/neuter, microchip)
• Feral Cat Community Support
Frisco Humane Society has allocated funds for Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) activities for 2022 to assist its volunteers who support feral cat communities and feral cats in their neighborhoods and surrounding areas. These funds will be used to spay/ neuter, vaccinate and test feral cats and then release them back into an environment where the animals continue to be supported with food, water, and shelter.
• Spay and Neuter Clinics
FHS promotes through social media and adoption events the free or low-cost spay/ neuter/vaccination services offered by other animal welfare organizations, such as TCAP, SNYP, etc., to promote community awareness and outreach. FHS also provides free spay and neuter clinics to the Dallas/Fort Worth residents, when feasible, to help reduce the number of homeless and unwanted animals in the community.
FHS depends on the generosity of frisco and the surrounding community's support to keep operations running. There is a need for cat food (IAMS dry kitten and adult foods), scoopable litter, and Kirkland's brand dog food. Financial donations are also greatly appreciated and assist in covering the increasing medical and veterinary costs. To donate today, please visit FriscoHumaneSociety.com.
