Animal Welfare Society of Kerr Co/Freeman Fritts
Every Animal Deserves A Second Chance
At Freeman-Fritts Vet Clinic & Animal Shelter, our mission is simple: to save animal lives through compassionate care, affordable veterinary services, and the promise of a loving forever home for every pet we meet.
Our History and Our Mission
Since 1986, we have been dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats across Kerr County. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization owned by the Animal Welfare Society of Kerr County, we serve our community with a steadfast no-kill philosophy.
How We Provide Care
We operate as a hub of healing, providing essential medical services in a safe, welcoming environment. By offering low-cost veterinary care, spay/neuter surgeries, and comfortable boarding, we support responsible pet ownership while funding our life-saving rescue and adoption efforts.
The Adopter Connection
We believe a loving home changes everything, which is why our staff works closely to understand each animal's unique personality. Because we deeply value these connections, we facilitate a thoughtful matching process to ensure every adoption results in a happy, lifelong partnership.
Join Us in Saving Lives
Whether you are ready to open your heart to a new companion or want to help a special-needs animal through sponsorship, there are many ways to get involved.

10/7 - Freeman-Fritts presses on as donations dwindle
For the past four decades, the Freeman-Fritts Animal Shelter (a no-kill shelter) and Veterinary Clinic has provided support services to dogs and cats in the Texas Hill Country.

The shelter is also bridging a specific gap created by the temporary housing crisis. When displaced families lose access to the Airbnb that accepted their pets and move to one that doesn't, Freeman-Fritts boards the animals until housing stabilizes.
