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!

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.
