| The Humane Society of Dallas County has been a rescue organization since its inception in 1975. In 1987, we established Dallas' first no-kill animal shelter, Dog & Kitty City. Our goal is to place healthy and rehabilitated animals into loving and responsible homes. We spay or neuter all our animals before adoptions, as this policy will help decrease animal over-population. We test all our cats for FeLV and FIV, and our dogs are treated for heartworms. Both are treated for parasites. All necessary vaccinations and medication are given as required. In addition to our adoption services, we also function partly as a sanctuary by taking in difficult to place animals, older animals, feral animals, and FIV and FeLV positive cats. Dog & Kitty City relies completely on donations from individuals and corporations. If you are interested, there are many ways in which you can help us. We are a non-profit 501.c3 organization, which means that all donations are tax deductible. Our service to the animals depends completely on the generosity of the community and our dedicated volunteers. We are able to help homeless animals only through the continued support from people like you. Our mission has always been to make life better for animals by: - Rescuing and ministering to the indigent animal population.
- Providing shelter, love and medical care for all of our animals until they find a loving home.
- Promoting responsible pet ownership.
- Providing on-going adoption support services to ensure a lifetime commitment from pet owners.
- Eliminating animal cruelty through education.
- Helping to reduce animal over-population with low-cost spay/neuter referral programs.
- Fostering a respect for all living creatures.
