  Why should I donate to Baytown Humane Society?

​

• Every donation -- big or small --  gives hope, food, and medical care to lost, abandoned, homeless, desperate animals in your own community, and is tax-deductible. Your generosity allows BHS to do what we do.

​

• Baytown Humane Society is an independent, community-focused charity.  Every cent is used locally, rather than sent to a corporate organization.

​

• There are no paid positions.  100% of the work is done by volunteers, so 100% of your money will benefit the animals.

​

• Donors, like YOU, are a primary source of funding for Baytown Humane Society.  Many times, the adoption fee doesn't even begin to cover the extensive veterinary cost sometimes associated with just just one animal.  

​

  Did you know...?

     

There are significant expenses incurred when many animals are rescued by BHS:

​

• Veterinary wellness visit and exam $50-$100 (does not include further treatments or surgeries required for injured or sick animals)

• Spaying or neutering $150-$300

• Lab Tests, x-rays, ultrasounds $50-$350

• Parvo/Distemper vaccination $25-$50 ×2

• Rabies vaccination $15-$25

• Heartworm test (for dogs) $25-$45

• Feline Leukemia/FIV test (for cats) $30-$50

• Flea/tick treatment $20-$60

• Microchip $25-$65

• Deworming $20-$50

• Collar, leash and an identification tag $5-10 each

​

Well, you can see that the cost of just one rescued animal can quickly add up -- and we do this over and over every day.
