Requirements to Adopt a Dog in Foster Care: Before adopting, we require an approved application, an interview, a home check, a signed adoption contract and an adoption fee (dogs $100-$300 depending on age) to cover the animal’s health-related expenses and boarding while in our care.

All of our animals are spayed or neutered, are current on shots, tested and de-wormed.Go to www.pawsinthecity.org to apply. Once we receive your adoption application, we will contact you for a phone interview and continue the adoption process from there.

We are committed to ending the overpopulation, abuse, neglect of dogs and cats in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Our goal is that every adoptable dog finds a loving home. We are an all-volunteer, no-kill, 501 [c][3] organization.

Every day we witness firsthand the tragic consequences of pet overpopulation.
