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!
- At this time, we do not accept court-ordered service hours nor track community service hours.
- Our organization does not currently have an established office location, however in March 2023 DPA opened up an Adoption Container.
