Karnes County Humane Organization

Karnes County Humane Organization KCHO coordinates Rescue transport & medical care for abandoned dogs in Karnes County Animal Control facilities. Fostering & Adoption available.

The Karnes County Humane Organization serves Karnes County, Texas from our facility in Kenedy, a small town 60 miles southeast of San Antonio. Through the efforts and hard work of KCHO volunteers, abandoned and abused dogs & cats are brought to the attention of rescue groups or adoptive homes through our website, www.KarnesCountyHumane.org and this page. KCHO is not a shelter facility, bu

t works to place dogs & cats in safe rescues and shelters. We have enjoyed great success in our outreach. Before the creation of KCHO, the rural town shelter had no resources, and the live release rate was typically 5% out of 275 dogs per year. Standard hold time is 72 hours. The live release rate has now increased to 99%! RELEASE TO RESCUE GROUPS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED. The Karnes County Humane Organization provides each homeless pet with medical care that includes vaccinations, spaying/neutering and heartworm testing at no cost to the rescue. In most instances we are available to assist with transport! Rescue Groups, Potential Foster "Parents" and those wanting to Adopt, please call Rhonda Sheeran (830) 299-1716 for information.

🚨 DOG FOOD DONATIONS URGENTLY NEEDED 🚨

We are officially down to our last 2 bags of dog food and could really use your help to keep all of our pups fed. Right now, we are in need of both adult dog food and puppy food. 🐾❤️

We currently have 14 growing puppies and a nursing momma in our care who needs the extra calories and nutrition that puppy food provides while caring for her babies.

Donations can be dropped off at:
📍 Dynasty Enterprises
105 S Sunset Strip, Kenedy, TX
Between 8:00 am - 5:00 pm M-F

If it’s easier, you can order directly from our Amazon Wish List.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3J1KL2OOU3B0U?ref_=wl_share

✨ All donations are tax deductible!

Every bag helps and makes a huge difference for the dogs in our care. Thank you for supporting our rescue and helping us continue to give these dogs a safe place, full bellies, and the care they deserve.

Please share to help us reach more people! 🐶🐾

Rescue is hard. It’s not a 9–5 job. It’s around the clock—early mornings, late late nights, and weekends spent doing whatever it takes. It can be exhausting, emotional, and overwhelming at times.

But then… I get updates like these. And suddenly, every long day, every tough decision, every mile driven—it all feels worth it. 💚

Here are a few recent updates from our adopters:

Lily:
“She’s been the absolute cutest, most loving, amazing girl here—we’re so, so happy with her.”

Jewel (now Tulla):
“We’re over the moon with our new pup! She’s settling into our household amazingly well. We were wondering if this is the first time she’s seen snow? She loves chasing snowballs and digging holes. We have named her ‘Tulla,’ but her full name is Tulla Jewel. We are so happy to have her come into our lives.”

Hazel:
“Hazel is doing AMAZING! She’s so sweet and is slowly getting comfortable. I love her SOO much! She is settling in well. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her cry, whine, or bark. All she wants is to play or snuggle haha.”

This is why we do what we do. 🐾
Thank you to every adopter who gives these dogs the life they deserve.

What a wonderful surprise this morning! We had a special visit from some of the amazing residents of John Paul II Nursing Home, and it truly made our day. 💚🐾

A huge thank you to everyone who came by and for the generous donations you brought with you. Your kindness and support mean so much to us and to the animals in our care. We are so grateful for a community that continues to show up for the dogs who need it most. 🐶✨

Two transports back-to-back and 12 dogs are officially on their way to their next adventures! 🐾💚

Late Wednesday night, Kekoa, Noelle, Benny, and Bitty loaded up and started their long journey to the PNW. Not long after that run was finished, before the sun even came up Thursday morning, it was time to do it all over again. Luna, Lily, Butch, Jewel, Lucy, Ella, Sage, and Brewster were loaded up and headed out to meet the transporters for the ride to their new homes.

It was a long night and an early morning, but this is the part that makes it all worth it — watching these dogs leave for the lives they deserve. Safe travels, sweet pups. Your next chapters are just beginning, and we can’t wait to see all the happy updates from your new families. 🐶✨

Thank you to everyone who helps make these transports possible. Every mile gets them closer to the love they’ve been waiting for. 💚

This sweet boy is headed to his new home and family!!! 💚
