Hill Country Animal Rescue was chartered as a 501(c) (3) non profit organization in the state of Texas in October, 1997.
From Day One, it was the dream of the Hill Country Animal Rescue organizers and volunteers to have their own shelter facility. This dream came true in 2003 when Ed and Trudy Brune offered to underwrite a new shelter facility to be named after Trudy, in recognition of her life-long love of animals.
Construction on the new building began in 2004, and the animals and staff moved into their new quarters in September, 2005.
The grand opening of the Trudy Brune Hill Country Animal Rescue shelter facility was held in January, 2006.
