What We Do |
Why We Do It | Contact | |
 Our
mission is to save as many dogs and cats from being euthanized at
the City of Dallas shelter as possible. Whether due to overcrowding
and space being limited or because they have a treatable illness,
we will take as many of the animals as we can into our foster program
and find them loving forever homes.Paws in the City conducts off-site adoption events for the City of Dallas Municipal Animal Shelter and our foster animals on Saturdays and Sundays. The City of Dallas has a new animal shelter location at I-30 & Westmoreland. The new shelter opened in October 2007. It is a “green” facility and is state of the art. Still, of the almost 30,000 dogs and cats that come to the city shelter each year, less than 2,000 are adopted. By taking the City of Dallas dogs and cats to off-site locations, we hope to increase their adoption rates and advertise for the city shelter, so fewer animals are killed. Many people are unwilling to drive to the city facility or find it depressing, so Paws in the City increases adoptions by bringing the animals to the public. We promote the City of Dallas shelters as much as our own organization in hopes of ending the killing due to lack of homes. We invite other rescue groups to take part in our wonderful adoption locations as well. We believe all rescue groups and the city must come together to make Dallas a no kill city, and this is our ultimate goal. We also rescue strays off the streets of our community and bring them into our foster home as well. And we run a Guest Program to help the public who may need to re-home a pet or if they find a stray and would like to foster the animal until a new home can be found. We offer our vet discounts, post the animal on our websites, allow them to come to adoption events, and help with the adoption process with paperwork and home checks. |
