Thrift Store
Every Purchase Helps Save a Life
When you shop or donate to the Alpine Humane Society Thrift Store, you do more than find a great deal. You help feed, shelter, and care for animals in need right here in Alpine and across Brewster County.
Every item on our shelves and every dollar at checkout becomes a lifeline for a cat, dog, or rescue in our community.
A Store With a Purpose
The Alpine Humane Society Thrift Store opened in 2013 with one simple goal: to create a sustainable way to fund local animal care.
From the beginning, the store has been more than a shopping destination. It is a community hub filled with heart. Every shelf, every rack, and every friendly volunteer tells the story of people who care deeply about the animals who share this town with us.
When you visit, you are not just buying something. You are joining a mission that keeps pets fed, families supported, and hope alive.
What You’ll Find
Whether you are a local treasure hunter or a traveler passing through Alpine, our store offers something for everyone:
- Clothing and accessories for the whole family
- Furniture, décor, and housewares
- Books, puzzles, and toys
- Pet supplies and accessories
- Seasonal items and unique collectibles
Inventory changes daily, so every visit feels like a new adventure.
All items are donated by people who love their community and want to make a difference.

A Community Impact That Lasts
Since opening its doors, the Alpine Humane Society Thrift Store has helped fund countless spay and neuter surgeries, medical treatments, and adoption efforts.
Every year, thousands of dollars from thrift store proceeds are reinvested into the programs that keep animals healthy and families whole.
