Lots of huskies and husky mixes here at Dallas Animal Services - here are a few of the huskies available at the shelter and in foster that are waiting for homes!

If your dog is not fixed, they're missing out on a lot. They can't visit dog parks, stay at boarding facilities, or sit at the cool kid's table.

You can fix that (pun intended) right now by booking an appointment with Spay Neuter Network!

If you live in a qualifying zip code, you could be eligible for a $20 or even FREE spay/neuter surgery for your dog!

Make an appointment by calling 972.472.3500 or online here: https://spayneuternet.org/programs-and-specials/dallas-20-spay-neuter-microchip-vaccine-package/

It's and today we've got a big boy for you guys. No, really that's this cuties name, Big boy A1208365. ❤️

Big Boy is looking for someone to take over his foster care or even better give him a permanent residence. Big boy's foster will be traveling soon and they want to avoid having to bring him back to the shelter.

Big Boy, is a cuddly giant with a heart of gold! This huggable hound is as sweet as they come, but he's definitely unaware of his own size and strength! Don't let his size fool you, though, he's a total sweetheart who just wants to shower you with love and affection.

Big Boy is looking for a home with a yard that has a tall fence, where he can romp around and play safely without tempting this former escape artist! He's eager to learn and please, but he could use some extra training to polish up his manners and leash skills. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this lovable goofball, Big Boy promises to fill your life with endless cuddles, wagging tails, and unforgettable memories.

- Big Boy (A1208365)
- 3 years (approximate)
- HW-, neutered, UTD on shots
- Crate Trained
- Potty Trained
- Great with kids and dogs
- Not tested with cats
- Does great in a car!!

Adoption fees are waived and your adoption includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, and a custom ID tag.

Welcome to in our kitten nursery. Singletons, litters, families and a cat in a dress all looking for homes. 🐱❤️

Hazel was absolutely pawstruck the other day when she got to meet Noah Kahan!

The first picture is her finding out she was going backstage! But when Hazel (and her buddy Luna ) actually met their celebrity crush, neither of them could think of a single thing to say to him and kinda just stared... (we can relate). 😅😂

So glad our pups were invited to attend the concert, they had so much fun!

Hazel and Luna are available for adoption, come meet these silly girls today!! 🐶🐶❤️

In the shelter, Starlight was clearly stressed and unhappy. She didn't want to be touched and she hissed at people walking past her kennel, protective of her babies.

Just one day in her foster home and she's a completely different cat - she even looks different. Her furrowed brow is now relaxed, her eyes are bright instead of squinty, and her body is no longer tense but loose and at ease. All it took was getting out of the shelter, away from the fluorescent lights and strange smells and noises and into the comfort of a home.

That feeling of finally being able to relax and raise her babies without stress is indescribable, but you can see it in her face. Now Starlight is begging for attention and ear scritches.

More mother cats like Starlight at DAS need your help. A large crate, spare closet, or bathroom is all the space they need while they're nursing their babies. Sign up to help these moms and kittens now at BeDallas90.org/foster

Residents living in 23 Dallas ZIP Codes will receive a FREE spay or neuter, 3-day pain combo, microchip, and rabies vaccine for their dog at any TCAP location.

Make an appointment with Texas Coalition for Animal Protection by calling 940-566-5551 or online here: https://texasforthem.org/services/specials/free-dallas-special/

These zip codes are where the majority of our intake comes from. We have enough puppies that can't find homes and no, there is no medical or behavioral reason for a dog to have a litter of puppies ever.

Fixing your pet isn't just good for helping us in our battle against pet overpopulation in Dallas. It's also MANDATORY for pet owners living in Dallas to have their dogs and cats spayed or neutered. Make your appointment NOW and keep your proof of appointment handy - if your pet is not fixed you could be subject to fines and citations. But if you have your appointment scheduled, we're cool!

Note: There is a longer wait list for large female dogs (their surgeries take the most time) so please expect a later appointment date.

If your zip code is not listed, you can still receive low-cost spay/neuter service through TCAP or Spay Neuter Network by appointment.

For those of you who foster animals for DAS or any other organization, you know that some resident pets just tolerate fostering, and some others absolutely LOVE having an extended sleepover buddy!

Raf A1193558 is currently in a foster home and the resident dog is clearly happy as a clam to have a cute friend to cuddle and play with.

We want to see your pics of your resident pets loving on your foster pets - comment below!

We treat every dog as an individual, not just because they deserve it, but because we've seen it all! While a good percentage of the shepherd mix dogs we've seen come through our shelter are smart, loyal, observant, and ready to work...we've also met a few that are clueless, aloof couch potatoes who would let a T-rex in your house if they gave them a cookie and a pat on the head. And we love them all the same!

In general, shepherd mixes have so much potential to learn and perform specific tasks, which is why they are often chosen for those super cool dog jobs where they get to wear a cool vest and sniff your luggage at the airport. So if you're looking for a dog you want to teach lots of commands and run and get you if your toddler is dismantling your TV remote, a shepherd is a good choice!

Here are some gorgeous shepherd mix pups who we hope you'll pass on to your shepherd-loving friends looking for a new companion.

And yes, we have them in puppy version too!

Sharing this sweet to beat the Monday blues...

"This is Frank, formally known as Vic. We have had him about 3 weeks and he is thriving! He has put on weight, loves his toys, walks, and snuggling up on the couch. He is the sweetest boy and we could not love him more! ❤️🐾💕"

Adorable puppies like Frank are waiting to meet you at Dallas Animal Services. See our adoptable pets at BeDallas90.org/pets.

Trista A1214765 had a blast on her ! Before her daycation, we only had one photo of her in her kennel. Now we have some super cute pictures of her out and about enjoying the park, munching on a yummy treat, riding in the car, and rolling in the grass!

A variety of pictures can greatly increase a pet's chances of adoption. You can help a shelter pet find their home by signing up for a Doggie Daycation. You can even make them a video - Trista will have one on her profile soon! Get started here: https://bedallas90.org/doggie-daycations/

We want to extend our appreciation to everyone who shared our message on social media! We are happy to report that we had 73 dog adoptions and 55 cat adoptions this weekend. We had a further 52 dogs and 73 cats picked up for foster or foster-to-adopt!

Even with 24 dogs and 1 cat returned to their owner and 35 dogs and 16 cats transferred to rescues, we are still well over capacity due to high intake. 177 dogs and 85 cats came in from Friday - Sunday. That means we only found placement for 7 more dogs than the total that came in. So while our capacity hasn't dropped to a manageable level, your support helped keep us from getting into an even worse situation. Thank you Dallas!

Here are some ways you can continue to help:

1) Look at your dog. Are they wearing a collar with ID tags? No? Get them one TODAY. This is the fastest way our animal services officers or a member of the public who finds your dog can return them to you. We strongly urge cat owners to keep their cats indoors at all times.
2) Is your pet microchipped? If not, we offer $10 microchips through Spay Neuter Network. It's fast and painless to implant and a permanent backup form of identification. Make an appointment here: https://das.as.me/schedule/5ae32218/?appointmentTypeIds[]=20712566
3) Are you ready to volunteer? Just 4 hours a month is all you need to make a difference. Sign up at BeDallas90.org/volunteer
4) Ready to foster? Sign up at BeDallas90.org/foster. We have plenty of easy foster opportunities both short term and long term.
5) Prefer to donate? Visit Friends of Dallas Animal Services at friendsofdas.org

Do you celebrate your pet's birthday / gotcha day?

Nova just got to celebrate her 2nd birthday with her loving family. We just got this wonderful pupdate from her adopters:

"She loves to be around people and dogs!! We weren’t sure what to expect at first, but from the day we brought her home she has been nothing less of loving. Here’s to one year of many, many more. We are forever grateful for the DAS employee who assisted with us meeting her and adopting her."

Adopt Me vests really do work!

Foster pup Ellie was out for a stroll with her foster family on a bustling stretch of Cedar Springs Road in Oak Lawn. Her Adopt Me vest drew the attention of many passersby - including a lovely couple that was actively seeking a dog to adopt! Within an hour of meeting her, the couple decided to apply to adopt Ellie. This Tuesday, they made it official!

Help our dogs in foster or on by donating an Adopt Me vest.

Two ways to donate!

Unfortunately, we're not just at high capacity for dogs. We are at 170% capacity for cats as well. We are still in the middle of kitten season and these little guys are pouring in- a lot of them displaced from the storms.

Can you foster a singleton, litter or family for a few weeks until they're old enough to have surgery and be adopted?

Are you wanting to foster but feel unprepared? Come to our kitten training today at 1pm! We will be having kitten training every other Saturday starting today. Sign up here:

Yesterday, 81 MORE dogs arrived at our already overflowing shelter, each one a poignant reminder of the critical need for loving homes. This morning, we are at 155% capacity, with 464 dogs sharing 300 kennels. It's a daunting number, but we ask you not to focus on that. Instead, look at these hopeful, happy faces. We've promised them that help is coming.

We didn't choose this crisis, but it's the card we've been dealt. Yet, we live in a big, beautiful city that never abandons us in times of need. We are hopeful, Dallas, that you will come through again. We have many wonderful dogs and cats waiting for a fresh start.

Whether you can adopt a pet or foster—even for just a few days—we'd love to see you this weekend! We receive dozens of new pets daily, so if you don't find your match one day, please come back and try again.

A few days in a foster home can make a world of difference. Photos of them relaxing at home or enjoying sunny walks help us create detailed bios to find their forever families. If you're interested in fostering, come by to pick out a dog, and we'll get you set up!

Your support, no matter how small, means everything to these dogs. Thank you, Dallas, for your kindness and love. Together, we can give these precious animals the homes and happiness they deserve. 💙🧡

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!!

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. 🌟🌿
