According to the Dallas Companion Animal Project , more than 23,000 dogs and cats were euthanized in our community during the last fiscal year because there were not enough homes.
What is involved?
Volunteers conduct community outreach and volunteer at spay/neuter and vaccine clinics. The community outreach is aimed to promote upcoming clinics and educate people about the importance of vaccines and pet sterilization. Volunteers should be comfortable handing out flyers in public locations such as shopping centers or canvassing neighborhoods door-to-door to hand out information.
When?
Most volunteer opportunities are during the day on weekends.
Where?
Most volunteer events are held in East Dallas or near West Dallas (Oak Cliff).
What is the time commitment?
We ask that you commit to volunteering for a minimum of 3-6 months. This is so you can develop relationships in the communities where the clinics are offered. Attending at least 2 volunteer events per month would be ideal.
How do I learn what to do?
We hold regular training sessions. Once you sign up to volunteer, you will hear about training opportunities as they are offered. The experts at Spay Neuter Network conduct our volunteer training programs.
Bilingual?
We need Spanish speakers! Please considering joining our volunteer team.
This program is a partnership program with the Spay Neuter Network .
What is Fixin’ to Save?

About Paws in the City

Mission Statement
Paws In The City is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization committed to ending the abuse, neglect and overpopulation of Dallas area dogs and cats. Our goal is that every adoptable dog and cat get a loving home. By providing money for spay/neuter and increasing the adoption rate, we take the first step in making Dallas a no kill city.
Description
- Paws In The City has spent over 5 years rescuing and healing the abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and cats of our community. We focus on rescuing dogs and cats from the City of Dallas municipal shelter because they must euthanize almost 30,000 animals every year. We hope to make a difference.
- We currently do not have a shelter, but utilize foster homes and boarding facilities to board the animals in our care until a forever home can be found. Therefore we do not have employee or shelter related costs. Every dollar raised goes to foster, adoption, training, medical and spay/neuter programs.
Programs
**Rescuing, fostering and adopting dogs and cats through our foster and adoption programs
** Providing a Medical Assistance Fund which offers the public help with expensive surgeries or treatments that they could not afford on their own (for qualified applicants only)
