Meet Roo
" Yes, a victim I once was, but the past is the past and a victim I choose to be no more."

Cast aside by humans after being a victim of sheer amusement, Roo was rescued and now lives on happily with an inspiring renewed spirit in hopes of sharing and teaching the profound meaning of hope and unconditional love to those humble enough to receive it.(read Dallas Morning News article)

Saving A Life By Fostering

These 3 week old pups were left orphaned after their mom succumbed to sickness and needed the helping hands of Paws in the City. A Paws foster was ready to step in at a moment’s notice to take these into her care. They are all thriving despite their hardship.
We are forever grateful to the fosters for PITC. If you would like more info on how you can save a life of an animal….dog or cat puppy or kitten,

Through the Eyes of Petey
You know I used to be envious of cats, because I always heard that they have nine lives. But I am beginning to think they are not the only ones who do. After all, I have seen mine pass before me at least three times now!
Dallas Animal Services knows me well. I started out there as a young pup. Despite my sweet disposition and unusual looks, potential adopters overlooked me. My time had run out, but not before a kind woman who saw my potential found a safe haven for me. It was great being showered with attention from all these kids who took me under their wing with support from their pet club (Bishop Dunne Catholic School). I did my best to show my appreciation. But it was not meant to be. Again, I was scheduled to be sent back to DAS. The Pet Club was discontinued and there was nowhere else for me to go.
But just at the last minute, one of the teachers at Bishop Dunn couldn’t bear the thought of what little chance I had to be adopted….even though I was constantly assured how handsome and sweet I was.
A gentleman who owned a shop thought he could provide for me and give me a life I deserved. Yes, again, it was not meant to be.
Just 7 months later, here I was back at Dallas Animal Services.
I had reached the 11th hour when Paws in the City pulled out all the plugs for me. Imagine…when you notice you have your own cheering section from all the wonderful folks who knew I was destined for greater things…most importantly this group who steps in when no one else will…Paws in the City.
Don’t worry..I plan on making them PROUD!

Won't You Help Us Find Permanent Homes in the City?

All 12 of us made it to the big city thanks to a very dedicated family who brought us into the rescuing arms of Paws in the City. We are now a lively bunch of pups, enjoying learning how city folks live...thanks to our foster parents. We were born on April 17th to a mom who was mostly border collie/lab and did all she could for us these last 8 weeks.

SO far the consensus from all the foster families is that we are extremely attentive to people and quick learners! The pictures you see here are from our debut we made last Saturday at the Village on the Parkway adopt-a-pet.
