Operation Kindness Humane Society runs a lifesaving animal shelter in Carrollton, north of Dallas. The organization describes itself as a pioneer in Texas for helping animals that need veterinary care, companionship and homes.
Pet adoption is the center of its work, and its shelter includes a medical wing where animals receive lifesaving care before adoption. Operation Kindness also runs a foster program for vulnerable animals, such as young kittens and pets recovering from surgery, that do better in a home than in a shelter.
Beyond the shelter, the organization offers affordable veterinary services for community pets, resources for pet owners, and a pet food pantry for families who are struggling to feed their animals. Shelter and community spay and neuter surgeries are a large part of its work, and volunteers help with everything from dog walking to events.
Operation Kindness is funded by donations, including monthly donors. The shelter is on Earhart Drive in Carrollton. To ask about adoption, fostering or services, call (972) 418-7297.
