Assistant general manager Sarah Sheek coming to you LIVE with a special message about kitten fostering. 💙🐱💗
Be the best part of their day ✨
Will volunteering at DAS be sad sometimes? Yeah, maybe. Will you want to take every pet home? Absolutely!! Will it make you feel really good knowing that you were the best part of a shelter pet’s day? You betcha.♥️🐶
Like any act of kindness, there may be moments of sadness, a longing to do more, and limitations. However, let us assure you, your presence is the highlight of our pets’ day. They relish the scent of new acquaintances, the sight of passersby, and the joy of frolicking in the play yard with you. Your visit, whether brief or extended, has the power to uplift spirits and bring immense joy. It’s not all sad, we promise.
Sign up to volunteer today and be the best part of their day!!💙🧡

Just a few days in a foster home can make a world of difference for our dogs. You can get photos of them relaxing in a home environment or walking in the sunshine in the park and take notes on their personality outside of the shelter. It may seem small, but great photos and a detailed bio can help them match with their new family.
If you’re interested in fostering, just come by to pick out a dog and we’ll get you set up!
Please open your heart and home to these pets in need. Time is running out. Share, adopt, foster – make a difference today.💙🧡

Friends of Dallas Animal Services purchased us a pet ID tag machine, so now every pet adopted or fostered from DAS will go home with a complimentary custom ID tag!
During National Pet ID Week, we're encouraging pet owners to ensure their pet is wearing a collar with ID tags at all times. DAS also offers microchips, a permanent form of identification, for $10 by appointment at BeDallas90.org.
Don't let your pet run around naked! Make sure they are wearing a collar with ID tags and their rabies vaccination tag at all times. It's required by City of Dallas - City Hall code!

A Day In The Life: DAS Wildlife Investigator
This #WildlifeWednesday, let’s take a walk on the wild side with our incredible Animal Support Officer and Wildlife Investigator, Jacqui Sutherland! 🕵️♀️🦔 Every day in Jacqui’s field is a unique adventure, filled with excitement, challenges, and a profound dedication to preserving and protecting our precious wildlife. 🐾✨
Here are a few wildlife facts Jacqui wanted to pass along:
Opossums
Did you know that opossums have a short life span, with a maximum of only 2 1/2 years? These resilient creatures navigate the challenges of the wild, reminding us to appreciate the preciousness of every moment in their lives. ♥️
Bat Pups
Baby bats are aptly called “Pups”! These adorable creatures only have one offspring per year, highlighting the importance of protecting their habitats and ensuring the survival of these remarkable flying mammals. 🦇👶🌙
Skunk Spray Surprise
Beware of the flammable surprise in a skunk’s arsenal! Skunk spray is not only pungent but also flammable. Imagine that! Skunks can spray 7-8 times continuously, but once their reservoir is empty, it takes up to a week to replenish. Nature’s defense mechanisms are truly extraordinary! 🌋🦨💨
Whether big or small, every creature plays a crucial role in the intricate web of our ecosystems. 🌍💚 Take a moment to appreciate Officer Jacqui and all the wildlife enthusiasts who dedicate their lives to the protection and conservation of our natural world. Together, we can ensure a future where both humans and wildlife thrive in harmony. 🌟🌿
