Seguin Humane Society

For many years, a very few dedicated animal-lovers held fund-raising events. Their dream...to one day build a No-Kill Shelter for unwanted and misplaced animals.

That dream came true when the Shelter opened its doors in June 1997.


Operating expenses are kept to a minimum as the Shelter is operated primarily by volunteers and a few paid employees. Our Shelter Director works tirelessly with no compensation.

There are no holidays-animals must be fed and kennels and cages cleaned daily.


The GCHS Shelter is proud of its 90%(+) adoption rate. Our job is to take in the unwanted animals, but more importantly, it is to find them good, loving homes. Homes have been found for over 90% of the animals since we opened in 1997. Most shelters struggle to achieve a 15% adoption rate, so you can see why we are so proud of our success.

Since opening the shelter, we have added a large cat “hotel” with eight small rooms suitable to house several cats in each room – every room has a view of the outside. In 2007 we added a Surgery Room to spay and neuter animals in our shelter before they are adopted, as well as enable us to offer a Low-Cost Spay and Neuter Program to the public by appointment. Our mission is to eliminate thousands of unwanted kittens and puppies who often die of starvation or disease, or neglect. The lucky ones are brought to a shelter, which are many times overloaded with neglected animals.
