2 Minutes in the Dallas City Animal Shelter

This video is a brief introduction to some of the "inmates" of the Dallas City Animal shelter. The dogs featured in the video are as individual as they come - some are pregnant; some scared; some are hopeful that you might be their next forever home; while others are clearly depressed - their faith in humans dashed by their callous abandonment or surrender. To spend two minutes looking into their faces is to open your heart to their plight.

Dallas Animal Services have too many wonderful animals in their shelters and are forced to euthanize thousands every year for whom they can't find homes - please consider adoption if you're looking for a new pet - click here to see all the pets available. Your adoption could save a life.

Dallas residents should also get informed about proposed changes to the City's animal ordinances - click here to visit the Dallas Animal Advocates site to learn more - while you're there, why not sign the petition supporting spay/neuter ordinances as a measure to address the pet overpopulation crisis? Speak out now by writing a letter to the council, signing the petition or speaking at an open mic session - whatever you do, don't do nothing. Dallas animals need your voice because they don't have one of their own.
