Cooper

Look at this smile! Meet Cooper.

Cooper is a playful and energetic dog who is looking for his forever home! Cooper loves to run and play, making him an excellent companion for anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle. He’s great with other energetic dogs and gets along wonderfully with teenagers, ensuring he fits right in with a lively household.

Cooper has a special fondness for toys and can spend hours entertaining himself with his favorites. While his exuberant play might be a bit much for cats, his joyful spirit and loving nature make him a fantastic addition to any family. If you’re seeking a fun-loving and dynamic dog to join your adventures, Cooper is the perfect match for you!

Please help however you are able — adopt, donate, foster, volunteer!

The Helotes Humane Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to placing rescued animals in loving homes. All of our animals receive age-appropriate vaccinations, testing, a microchip, and spay or neuter surgery, if needed. Adoption fees vary based on species, breed, and other features. Fees start at $150 for cats and kittens and start at $250 for dogs and puppies.

Helotes Humane Society is a foster-based rescue with the majority of our adoptable pets residing in foster homes.  We are not a shelter, so we do not usually have adoptable pets at our office location. To meet one of our adoptable pets, please complete an application (no obligation) to connect with our foster team.

Remember, don’t shop, adopt!

As a small non-profit organization, we rely heavily on donations and volunteers to fulfill our mission.

Donations provide the support for medical care, food, and necessary supplies for our foster animals. Check out our ways to donate here.

Volunteers help us foster animals, run adoption events, plan fundraisers, maintain our facilities, sort donations, answer phones, create materials, and a myriad of other tasks. Interested in joining our team of volunteers, complete an application and we will help you find the right spot for your skills and talents.
