Save A Life – Adopt A Pet!

Dallas Animal Services has many wonderful pets available for adoption! Fees are only $85 for dogs and $55 for cats - and that includes initial vaccinations, spay or neuter, and microchip! Click HERE to see just a few of the dogs and cats looking for new homes.

Picture This –

In FY 2006-2007, the City of Dallas had no choice but to euthanize 26,979 unwanted pets. It would take 550 DART buses to transport that same number of people - or 63 Boeing 747 jets!

Need free spay/neuter?
