Operation Kindness Lifesaving Partnerships Hub

Operation Kindness Humane Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization, operates a lifesaving animal shelter and programs to assist people and pets

In 1976, a group of volunteers made a plan to have their vision realized – to create a lifesaving shelter for homeless animals that had nowhere else to turn. Their idea was simple: show homeless pets kindness. For this passionate group of animal lovers, their goal was to provide shelter, medical care and food to homeless animals while working hard to find them loving homes. In the early days, Operation Kindness Humane Society operated out of volunteers' homes. In the summer of 1976, Operation Kindness acquired the use of a veterinary clinic located at 117 North Garland Avenue in Garland. By November 1988, Operation Kindness Humane Society moved the shelter to a storefront location at 1029 Trend in Carrollton. In 1999, we moved the shelter to 3201 Earhart Drive in Carrollton, where we remain. The shelter broke ground on the renovation and expansion of our adoption center and animal hospital in April 2018. Operation Kindness Humane Society celebrated the grand opening of the Rees-Jones Foundation Medical Wing in March 2020 and the completion of the remainder of the facility in July 2021. In July of 2022, Operation Kindness Humane Society launched a new Community Initiatives program to impact more pets across Texas. The new program offers affordable, accessible veterinary services to under-resourced communities and shelters

Mission — Our mission is to create a kinder world for pets and the people who love them by providing lifesaving care, innovative programs and community resources
