Operation Kindness Humane Society - FOSTER CARE
Our Mission
Operation Kindness is dedicated to creating a kinder world for pets and the people who love them by providing lifesaving care, innovative programs, and vital community resources. We believe that every animal deserves an excellent quality of life in a loving home.
Our Story
Since our founding by a group of passionate volunteers in 1976, we have remained committed to providing medical care, food, and shelter to homeless animals. From our early days operating out of volunteers' homes to our current 4.5-acre facility in Carrollton, our goal has always been simple: show homeless pets the kindness they deserve.
How We Help
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we operate a lifesaving animal shelter and an on-site animal hospital, the Rees-Jones Foundation Medical Wing, to treat approximately 100 homeless animals daily. Our comprehensive programs include foster care, a neonatal kitten nursery, and community initiatives like our Pet Food Pantry and affordable veterinary clinics, all designed to assist people and their pets.
Adopting Your New Best Friend
When you adopt from Operation Kindness, you are not only saving a life but also creating space for another animal in need. We are proud of our transparent, first-come, first-served adoption process, which ensures that pets are paired with the perfect family as quickly as possible. Every adoption includes spay/neuter surgery, core vaccinations, and a microchip to set you and your new pet up for success.
Join Our Community
There is no place else like Operation Kindness, and we invite you to experience our vibrant, hopeful shelter for yourself. Whether you are ready to meet your new furry family member or want to get involved through volunteering, we hope you will join us in our mission. Please visit our website to browse our currently available dogs and cats or stop by our Carrollton shelter today.

10/1 - Ringworm doesn’t have to be a dealbreaker when it comes to fostering. 🐾 Pets with ringworm need a little extra care while they heal, and a low-stress foster home can make a BIG difference. In fact, treatment time can be cut in half compared to treatment in a shelter! When you foster a ringworm pet, Operation Kindness provides the veterinary care, medications, food, supplies, and training you need. You provide the space, care, and a little extra TLC. ❤️ By opening your home to a ringworm foster, you’re not only helping that pet heal, you’re helping us make space to save another animal, too. Ready to give it a try? Sign up to foster at the link in our bio!🐱 #fosterkittens #fosterssavelives #fostersneeded #ringworm #sheltercats
