Our Great City

Animal Advocates of North Texas (AANT) was founded in 2008 by a group of animal lovers who came together to assist shelters and rescue groups. Aware that shelter budgets are often insufficient to cover animals' basic medical and emergency care in a timely manner, the group felt compelled to work together towards a solution.

AANT's intent and purpose is to prevent animal cruelty and neglect, reduce the euthanasia rate of healthy animals in shelters and develop a network to increase the placement of lost or abandoned animals into forever homes.

Activities to date include actively volunteering at local shelters, organizing fundraising activities and hosting adoption events. Focus is also placed on increasing public awareness of the situation facing homeless animals and providing vaccines and medication to sick animals.
