My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

DOB 6/24/18

Jack is looking for a "human in shining armor". Someone kind & brave that will rescue him. He has been living shelter life for over 2 years! During that time he has become a FAVORITE! He loves going on long walks, playing with toys, retrieving balls, & relaxing in the yard. He is 100% potty trained, super on a leash, & loves to ride in a car. Jack's hiccup is being cautious of strangers. However, once he knows you, he is very loving & loyal. He gladly accepts affection & belly rubs from the people he trusts! Jack has worked with a trainer on pack walking, place training, & impulse control. His training transformation has been amazing! He has received compliments on his good manners & leash skills from complete strangers! Ideal living for Jack is an adult home with a yard. This boy is ready for the castle of his dreams.    Fill out an application and schedule a Meet 'n Greet.

$100 Adoption- covers spay/neuter, microchip, and shots. You will receive one month of prevention free.  Dogs should be on heartworm prevention their entire lives.

Jack has had sleepovers with our volunteers and they report he does great in a home. He is well potty trained and goes quickly when you take him outside. He loves to cuddle and often stays in the same place for hours. Jack likes to stretch out and nap, but also likes to include you when he plays with toys. He also fetches. Two things that stand out for Jack is how quickly he learns your routine and his patience.  He is always two steps ahead, both physically and mentally because he likes to anticipate your next move. Jack is also very patient. Many dogs get excited when something is about to happen, but Jack will just sit or lay down and wait for you. If you are working from home, in the kitchen, or just doing chores, Jack will quietly follow you but not be in the way. He does not beg for food and just lays near you while you eat. Jack does well on a leash and learns the route quickly. He loves going in the car where he will stick his head out the window or just lay down. Jack does socialize with other dogs at the shelter, but prefers being around smaller dogs. Click the image  below to see Jack visiting a volunteer.

More about this shelter

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, and FIV and FeLV positive cats.

Dog & Kitty City relies completely on donations from individuals and corporations. Please make a donation or help us in any of these ways. 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 is to promote adoption and provide a safe, healthy and compassionate environment for the dogs and cats of Dallas County for as long as needed.
