💙 : Meet Blue Browne, formerly known as Jackson! 🐾

Blue was adopted from DAS in September 2023, when he was just 9 months old, and he’s been making life brighter ever since! 💙

His adopter shared his story with us:

"He got his name, Blue Browne, because he has one blue eye and one brown eye haha!

I adopted Blue in 2023, when he was just 9 months old. A DNA test showed he’s a mix between Siberian Husky, small poodle, and Australian cattle dog.

His favorite things are long walks or runs, Starbucks pup cups, and watching Harry Potter with his mom. He loves water and wants to jump into every pool/river/lake he sees! He is also the most photogenic dog I’ve ever met.

He’s such a loyal, loving dog and I couldn’t imagine my life without him. He brightens everyone’s day when they meet him and has made friends with all the other pups in the neighborhood. He is the best dog ever, thank you DAS for taking care of him before he found his forever home!!

I attached some pics of him throughout the years, and even a video of him enjoying some Texas snow. Enjoy!!!"

Thank you to Blue's adopter for sharing his journey and giving this handsome, two-eyed-in-two-different-colors boy such a wonderful life!

🐶 CLARENCE (A1299765) | 2 years old, 68 lbs
Friendly, affectionate, and full of charm! Clarence enjoys meeting other dogs and has shown a gentle, laid-back play style. He's got plenty of love to share and is ready to find someone to share it with! 🥰

🐾 Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear scrubs!

For National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, we're celebrating the incredible Medical and Surgery teams at Dallas Animal Services! ❤️

From routine vaccinations and checkups to lifesaving surgeries and treatments, these dedicated staff members work behind the scenes every day to keep our shelter pets healthy and comfortable.

Our patients may not always appreciate the thermometers, but they sure appreciate the people holding them! 🐶

50 DAYS WAITING. ONE CHANCE TO BLOSSOM. 🌸

Meet Susan ( )! This sweet 2-year-old girl has spent 50 days at Dallas Animal Services, and she's ready for a place where she can finally exhale, feel safe, and let her true personality shine.

At just 35 lbs, Susan is the perfect size, but her heart might be even bigger. ❤️

Susan can be shy when meeting new people, and she needs a little time to feel comfortable. But give her patience, a gentle approach, and the chance to warm up at her own pace, and you'll start to see the affectionate love-bug hiding underneath that nervous exterior. Volunteers have watched her go from keeping her distance to seeking out gentle pets, giving kisses, and even sneaking in a few extra sniffs and cuddles. She's also treat-motivated and walks nicely on leash!

Susan doesn't need someone to rush her. She needs someone willing to give her the time, space, and security to discover just how wonderful life outside the shelter can be.

Can you be the person who gives Susan that chance? Foster or adopt and help this little love-bug blossom! 🌷

🐾 Adopt: https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/91d654c8-7dd8-4e29-915f-abe4db8eaf02

☀️🐾 NO COMMITMENT, NO PRESSURE, JUST DAY OUT VIBES! 🐾☀️

DID YOU KNOW you can check out a shelter dog for the day?! 👀🐕

That's right! Through our Daycation program, you can take a shelter pup out on the town for a little adventure! Whether it's exploring Dallas trails, hanging out on a dog-friendly patio, grabbing a pup cup, or simply lounging around your home, the possibilities are endless! 🥹💙

Just ask Otter, Lady, Charlie, Rowdy, and Bebe! 🐶 These lucky pups recently traded their kennels for a day of adventures, snuggles, and new experiences!

Want to help shelter pets but can't commit to adopting or fostering? A Daycation might be the perfect volunteer opportunity for you! 🙌

Our shelter pups would LOVE the chance to stretch their legs, enjoy some fresh air, and experience life outside their kennels. Plus, every outing helps us learn more about their personalities, giving them an even better chance at finding their forever families! ❤️

✨ No adoption commitment.
🐾 No overnight stays required.
☀️ Just a fun day out with a furry friend who could really use one!

Ready to make a shelter dog's day? 🥰

🐾 Sometimes, the sweetest stories happen when we least expect them. 💚

One chilly evening, a Dallas Animal Services employee was out walking her dog when a tiny kitten appeared, all alone.

With temperatures dropping, she brought the little one home for a warm, safe night before bringing her to DAS the following day.

But this wasn't just any kitten. Her markings looked remarkably similar to those of the employee's beloved cat, Mr. Higgins, who had passed away. In his honor, the little kitten was given a special name: Miss Higgins. 🐱❤️

After a short stay at DAS, Miss Higgins found a family of her very own!

Mr. Higgins is remembered on our staff's Día de los Mu***os ofrenda, a special tribute to the pets who have touched our lives. And while no pet can ever be replaced, sometimes an unexpected encounter can bring a little extra warmth to our hearts.

Happy tails, Miss Higgins! We wish you a lifetime of love with your new family. 🏡💕

🧡🐾 Forever in Our Hearts 🦋

This Día de los Mu***os, Dallas Animal Services is honoring the beloved pets who may no longer be by our sides but will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Our staff created a beautiful ofrenda filled with photos, colorful marigolds, and heartfelt tributes to the pets who brought so much love, joy, and companionship into their lives.

While their time with us may have ended, the memories, paw prints, and love they left behind will last forever. ❤️

🐾 We invite you to celebrate their lives with us. Have you lost a beloved pet? Share a photo of them in the comments, along with their name or a favorite memory, so we can honor them together. 🧡

Nuestro personal creó una hermosa ofrenda llena de fotografías, flores de cempasúchil y recuerdos especiales para honrar a las mascotas que llenaron sus vidas de amor, alegría y compañía.

Aunque ya no estén físicamente con nosotros, los recuerdos, las huellitas y el amor que nos dejaron vivirán para siempre. ❤️

🐾 It takes a village to help shelter pets find their people!

For National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, we're celebrating the Dallas Animal Services Volunteer, Foster and Rescue teams! ❤️

These hardworking staff members connect our pets with the incredible volunteers, foster families and rescue partners who help them thrive. From recruiting and coordinating to building relationships, they're the people behind the people making a difference!

Our shelter pets have a little thank-you message of their own. 🐶

💙 Watch, share and join us in thanking these amazing teams for everything they do!

🐱 Nearly 2,500 kittens helped. One incredible kitten season! ❤️

Today, we're officially closing our kitten nursery for the season, and we have a lot to celebrate!

Each year, our nursery opens in March to care for our tiniest residents during kitten season and closes in the fall as intake slows down. This year, Dallas Animal Services helped nearly 2,500 kittens!

That's thousands of tiny lives impacted thanks to the dedication of our staff, volunteers and foster families. 💕

But while our nursery is closing, the need for fosters never stops. Underage kittens and puppies still arrive throughout the year, and we urgently need foster families willing to provide the specialized care they need to survive and thrive.

We'll provide the supplies and guidance. You provide the love!
