Every week, a few hundred dogs enter the Dallas Animal Shelter. With limited capacity, this means that hundreds are euthanized weekly - for space. It doesn't matter if they're the fluffiest, cutest, sweetest animal - no one is safe there. Keeping animals from entering the shelter is a key part of making Dallas a no kill city. PASS works with families to provide medical, training and financial assistance to families wishing to keep their pet but feel they can't. We will train you how to do this!
We have shifts at the Dallas Animal Shelter every Saturday (the highest intake day) to try to keep animals out the shelter. We are having a PASS Event on July 29 for new volunteers to help out and see what it like.
Help us help pets stay in their home by volunteering with PASS on July 29!
Our shifts are:
- 11-1:30
- 1:30-4
- 4-6

Mission Statement
At Dallas Pets Alive, our mission is to promote and provide the resources, education and programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals. We take an innovative approach to animal rescue and believe in creating a paradigm shift in the way our community views animal rescue. Adoption is not only the right thing to do but THE thing to do. *OUR GOAL: To one day make all of North Texas No-Kill
Description
OUR APPROACH
Our organization is run mostly by volunteers, and all of our pets are housed by dedicated foster families throughout North Texas.
We rescue and help the healthy and treatable pets at greatest risk for euthanasia at our partner shelters. We also provide assistance and resources to pet owners having problems so significant that they need to surrender their pets to a shelter.
In our rescue program, we focus on:
- Rescuing healthy and treatable pets at North Texas shelters at the greatest risk of being euthanized
- Reducing owner surrender through our Positive Alternatives to Shelter Surrender (PASS) program
- Opening kennel space by transporting pets to partners in the U.S. and Canada in need of adoptable animals
- Challenging the way our community views rescue animals. We believe that adoption is not only right thing to do but THE thing to do!
