About
Paws In The City®, an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is committed to ending the abuse, neglect, homelessness and overpopulation of dogs and cats through rescue, adoption, awareness, and spay/neuter.
Because over 28,000 animals in Dallas were euthanized in 2007, rescue and adoption are only a part of the solution to overpopulation. Educating people of the importance of spaying/neutering their pets is critical to our mission. We work closely with and promote 2 other organizations whose focus is on education and spay/neuter. The Metroplex Animal Coalition provides free spay/neuter vouchers to residents who cannot afford to have their animals altered and Companions for Life, offers educational programs and materials to Dallas Animal Services and to the community.
