Pets Fur People

Pets Fur People Pets Fur People is East Texas' oldest No-Kill shelter, where every animal is safe from euthanasia.

We rely solely on donations to provide a second chance at life for pets, ensuring they find loving homes and receive care for as long as needed. We believe that every dog and cat in our community should have the life it deserves - a warm bed, a full belly, a well cared for body and a loving home.

🐾 Meet Peanut! 🐾
This sweet Retriever/Lab mix is ready to find his forever family at Pets Fur People! 🏡💛

Peanut is the perfect combo of playful and polite—he walks like a champ on a leash and would make an amazing hiking or adventure buddy. 🥾🌲 Whether it’s trails or treats, Peanut is always up for a good time. He LOVES his toys, adores attention, and he sits well on command. 🐶✨

Peanut gets along just fine with other dogs and would be a great fit for a family with kids. His gentle, fun-loving nature makes him a wonderful companion for all kinds of homes.

Looking for a loyal sidekick? 🐕 Peanut could be your guy!

HUGE THANK YOU TO TYLER STEEL & SMITH COUNTY JUVENILE SERVICES H.O.P.E. ACADEMY! 🙌

Pets Fur People teamed up with Tyler Steel Company and Smith County Juvenile Services H.O.P.E. Academy for a unique project to help keep our furry adoptable friends at Pets Fur People safe and secure. Some dogs love to dig and underground fence barriers are a necessity to keep them secure in their kennel runs while they await their furever homes. Tyler Steel donated the material and the students of the H.O.P.E. Academy welded 25 metal underground fence barriers and they are FANTASTIC! WE CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH! 😊🩷

H.O.P.E. Academy is a residential secure facility that is designed for the safety and security of the residents, staff and community. Their goal is to provide residents with a safe, secure, nurturing atmosphere in which they will reflect on past activities, make positive changes in their thinking and behavior, and return to the community as a contributing member.

✨ Every dollar makes a difference in giving these kittens a healthy, happy start to life!

We are so excited to share that we received an amazing box of goodies from Max and Neo! 🎁🐾

Inside were leashes, collars, toys, and more — all high-quality items that our dogs absolutely love. Prince and all of our other adoptable pups couldn’t wait to dive in! 🐶💕

What makes this even more special is Max & Neo’s incredible mission: for every product sold on MaxandNeo.com, Amazon, or Chewy, they donate one to a dog rescue like ours. 💙 Their 1-for-1 donation model helps rescues across the country continue saving and enriching the lives of animals in their communities — including ours!

A huge THANK YOU to Max & Neo for your generosity and for supporting the work we do. We’re so grateful for partners like you! 🐾🙏

🐾 Meet Catalina – The Sweetheart of the Cattery 🐾

Catalina may be new to the cattery at Pets Fur People, but she’s already stolen our hearts. 💕 She came to us with a litter of tiny newborns, and we’ve had the joy of watching her raise them into adorable, playful kittens. One by one, they’ve all found their forever homes this week.

Now it’s Catalina’s turn. 🌟

She’s still wrapping up her last week or so in the coup and will be spayed soon, but that just gives you time to get ready for this absolute sweetheart. Catalina loves attention, lives for snuggles, and will completely melt your heart.

Come meet her and get ready to fall in love. 🐱💞

🏁🐾 Get your motor runnin’… Two-Bit has found his ride-or-die crew! 🐾🏁

We’re beyond thrilled to announce that our adventurous boy Two-Bit has been adopted by the awesome Holcomb family! 🎉❤️

He’s already gearing up for a life full of open road fun, long drives, and even longer snuggles—and we can’t imagine a better match. Whether he’s riding shotgun or chasing sunsets, Two-Bit is ready to roll into the good life. 🚙💨🐶

And as if that wasn’t amazing enough—the Holcombs went the extra mile and helped change another life too. They were so smitten with Two-Bit that they convinced the family who came in right after them to adopt his brother Johnny! Now both of these sweet boys are headed to their own happy-ever-afters. 🥹🐾💫

Huge THANK YOU to the Holcomb family for giving Two-Bit the adventure-filled future he deserves—and for helping Johnny find his, too. You didn’t just adopt a pup… you started a chain reaction of love. 🛣️💛

🐰✨ A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Pet Supplies Plus last week for our Easter Bunny pictures! We had such a great time seeing all your adorable pets and celebrating the season with you. You made it egg-stra special! 💐📸

All Easter Bunny photos have been sent out—so if you haven’t received yours yet, please let us know and we’ll make sure you get it! 💌

And guess what? 🐇 The Easter Bunny is making one more appearance this spring! He’ll be hopping over to the Atria Dog Wash this Saturday, April 19th, from 12–3 PM at Atria Willow Park (3500 Vine Street).

📸 Just a heads-up: the photo setup at Atria will be totally different from our event. It’s a much more casual, fun, and relaxed vibe—so if you're looking for something more low-key (or a second photo op!), hop on over!

Thanks again for all your support – we love our community! 💚🐾

Our Story

At The Humane Society's Pets Fur People, we provide an animal sanctuary for cats and dogs while helping them find their forever families.

Over the last 50 years, we have saved thousands of animals through facilitating pet adoptions and teaching responsible pet ownership at our no-kill pet shelter in Tyler, Texas. As a selective admission, life-sustaining animal shelter in Tyler, Texas, our mission is to provide a temporary haven for cats and dogs while helping them find the right home. By committing to these animals and connecting them with caring, loving families, we hope to reduce and ultimately eliminate the practice of euthanasia as an acceptable method of population control.

For more information about our animal shelter and how you can help out through adoptions and donations, please contact us today.
