Who Is The Humane Society of Southeast Texas?
The doors of the Humane Society of Southeast Texas (HSSET) opened in 1962 under the original name of Humane Educational Council of Southeast Texas. The primary focus was to educate the public on animal care and compassion. In 1981 our name changed but our goals and values remained the same. We are committed to increasing the standard of care for companion animals in our community, providing more low cost spay and neuter surgeries to cats and dogs, teaching humane education to more children and adults, and advocating for better animal protection. HSSET is a non-profit 501(C)(3) charitable organization run on donor contributions, community volunteers, and a lot of love.
