New Leash on Life

We’re Pressing “Paws” to Make It Even Better

At the Humane Society of Central Texas (HSCTX), our New Leash on Life program is designed to facilitate responsible rehoming of pets by connecting current pet owners with potential adopters. This initiative helps ensure that pets find new loving homes without the stress of entering a shelter environment.

Our program is currently on pause as we work behind the scenes to revamp and improve how we support responsible rehoming in our community.

We know how important this service is, whether you’re facing the difficult decision to rehome your pet or trying to help a found animal, and we’re committed to making sure the program is as compassionate, effective, and easy to navigate as possible.

In the Meantime

We encourage you to check out the Waco Animal Guide for helpful tips and resources on:

  • Rehoming your pet
  • Helping a found animal
  • Exploring community-based solutions

It’s a great starting point while we prepare to bring this program back even stronger.

Why the Pause?

We’re taking time to:

  • Re-evaluate processes to ensure pets are matched safely and thoughtfully
  • Strengthen follow-up support for both guardians and adopters
  • Create better tools for accessibility and communication

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition. Our goal is to relaunch soon with an updated program that better serves both pets and people across Central Texas.

Launch date of this program will be announced at a later date!
