Dallas animal ordinance forms and permits available now!

It is now easier to comply with the new Dallas City animal ordinances thanks to new forms available on the City of Dallas' website.

The following forms are available now:

• The grandfathering exception under the new Pet Limits law,
• The fostering exemption under the new Pet Limits law,
• Permits for intact animals under the new Intact Animals law

Forms are available here in both Word or PDF format.

Some important things to know when you complete an application or permit form:

• The application for fosters must be notarized. A Notary Public is on hand at Dallas Animal Services & Adoption Center during normal business hours, although it would be advisable to call first to be sure someone is available. Or you can have the application notarized elsewhere and mail it in. Some businesses provide this service, including most banks, and UPS stores will also notarize your signature for a small fee.
• The foster exemption is available to those providing foster care for an organized foster care program approved by the Dallas Animal Services.
• If your organization is not already approved to work with Dallas Animal Services, ask them to contact Maggie at DASRESCUE @ yahoo.com (no spaces) for the appropriate forms and instructions.

Once completed, all forms should be returned by mail or in person to Dallas Animal Services & Adoption Center, 1818 N. Westmoreland, Dallas, Texas, 75212.
