Dallas Pets Alive

Dallas Pets Alive! (DPA) is an animal rescue organization run mostly 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.

In our rescue program, we focus primarily on the pets who have already been passed over by other groups and the Dallas Animal Services' adoption programs, taking only the healthy and treatable pets who have no other options. Our mission is to promote and provide the resources, education, and programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals. Our goal is to one day make Dallas a No-Kill city.
