Dallas Animal Services Partners with BISSELL Pet Foundation to “Empty the Shelters”

Dallas Animal Services (DAS) will participate along with more than 410 shelters in 43 states in BISSELL Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters” reduced-fee adoption event May 1 through May 15. BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending pet homelessness, is prompting a national call for adoption once again this spring to help deserving shelter pets find loving homes. 

“Our nation’s animal shelters are facing a capacity crisis and need your help now. Adoptions have slowed while a surge in owner surrenders due to families facing economic and housing challenges has left tens of thousands of highly adoptable pets desperate to find homes,” said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation.

Adoptions at DAS are not just a chance to bring a loving pet into your home; they’re an opportunity to make a difference. Our adoption package includes spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip, custom ID tag, a voucher for a free post-adoption health exam with VCA Animal Hospitals, a free week of virtual 1-on-1 dog training with GoodPup, and more. By adopting, you’re not just gaining a companion but saving a life. Dallas Animal Services also welcomes those interested in fostering dogs or kittens to come by and meet the pets in need of a temporary home.

Anyone interested in adopting or fostering dogs from Dallas Animal Services should come to 1818 North Westmoreland Road. DAS is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
