About Paws In The City

Paws In The City has spent many years rescuing and healing the abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and cats of our community. We have placed dogs and cats into our foster homes and then into adoptive homes. We also conduct offsite adoptions for the City of Dallas municipal animal shelter because they kill almost 30,000 animalsŠ..add the metroplex and it climbs to 200,000. Every dollar raised goes to foster, adoption, medical and spay/neuter programs.

Paw In The City’s Accomplishments:

**	Reducing the number of animals killed at the City of Dallas Animal Shelter by having them attend our offsite adoption events along with our foster animals AND pulling animals on death row from that city shelter.
**	Increasing the number of animals adopted every year
**	Offering the public a Guest Dog Program. We help citizens who find strays or need to rehome a pet by posting them on our website and inviting them to attend our adoption events
**	Providing a Medical Assistance Fund which offers the public help with expensive surgeries or treatments that they could not afford on their own
**	Raising substantial amounts of funds every year for spay/neuter (Metroplex Animal Coalition) to decrease the amount of animals born without homes
**	Having a successful yearly fundraising event, Top Hat & Tails, which raises funds to provide for our medical bills and spay/neuter. This event is tailored after “Dancing With the Stars” TV show and pairs local celebrities with local celebrities and has a panel of celebrity judges, a sit down dinner, and live/silent auctions

Paws In The City’s ADOPTION EVENTS are held at:Needless Necessities, a home furnishings store in Uptown in Dallas, off Henderson and I-75/Central Expressway every other Saturday from 11am-4pm. We also attend numerous special events around the metroplex on the other weekends. See our website for locations and times

Working with other Organizations 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.
