Our Story

Our mission is to promote and provide the resources, education and programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals.

We are run entirely by volunteers and all of our pets are housed by dedicated foster families throughout North Texas. We focus on helping the healthy and treatable pets who are at risk of euthanasia at Dallas Animal Services – by rescuing the pets at greatest risk and helping owners who are having problems so great that they need to surrender their pet(s) to a shelter.

More than 16,000 homeless dogs and cats were killed in Dallas last year. It's a number that's shrinking each year, not as quickly as we'd all like it to. Whether purebred or mixed, we believe every homeless pet deserves a second chance! When you adopt a pet from a shelter or other rescue organization, you’re giving that animal the chance for the love they deserve – and saving a life!

I love that Dallas Pets Alive! focuses on the animals most at risk for euthanasia.
